About Catherine
Catherine Towne-Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with over 41 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting strain. Catherine aims to meet people where they are and help them move past the roadblocks that keep life from feeling manageable.
Her style is direct, respectful, and hopeful. She listens first and then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations are tailored to what matters most, whether that is managing panic, coping with a job change, or finding a clearer sense of purpose.
Catherine blends client-centered listening with solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means she uses what clients bring to the room and helps them try concrete steps that change day-to-day experience. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach ways of coping under stress.
She often helps people tackle practical issues such as money worries, workplace stress, communication problems, and young adult transitions. Sessions typically involve setting small, achievable tasks and reviewing what worked between meetings.
Asking for help is framed as a strength in her approach. Catherine emphasizes honesty, determination, and respect while supporting people through change. To begin, she guides clients through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process so work can start in a focused way.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and accepting each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps build goals based on what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients learn practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks, and shift patterns that feed depression or workplace stress. Sessions often include homework between meetings to practice new skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
Because the source notes online therapy is offered, ask to confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find this flexibility helps them stay consistent with the work between sessions.
