About Catherine
Catherine Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, and relationship struggles. Catherine also supports clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, anger, ADHD, and life transitions.
She brings seven years of counseling experience, including three years working toward licensure and five years licensed as an LPC. Her work is direct and person-focused. She aims to build rapport quickly and create a practical plan that fits each person's situation.
Catherine uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes respect and collaboration. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy and sometimes draws on existential ideas to help clients clarify values and meaning. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps people can use between meetings.
She describes her worldview through Christian teachings but does not advertise faith-based counseling or use therapy to proselytize. Instead she meets people where they are and adapts to diverse backgrounds and beliefs. This means conversations can include personal values when clients want that included.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and Catherine presents that as an honor. She invites people ready to explore change to start a conversation and work together on practical ways forward.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. In short sessions it’s used to set small, practical homework and track progress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building trust so clients can bring honest concerns and find their own solutions. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is working now and builds on strengths to create change quickly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means testing what helps and adjusting the plan as needed rather than assuming one style fits everyone.

Licensed professionals can use these approaches to help clients set clear goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track progress over weeks or months.
