About Catherine
LICSW in Massachusetts with 14 years of experience, Catherine Eccles focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and related concerns using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Catherine uses a direct, practical approach. She helps people notice how patterns affect day-to-day life and teaches concrete tools to work toward specific goals. She also makes room for sessions that are mainly conversational when that is what a person needs.
Her background includes work in residential programs and community outreach. That experience shaped her skill at supporting people with serious mental health challenges and helping them access resources in the community.
In sessions she mixes problem-focused work and skill building. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to slow reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.
She also draws on Client-Centered principles, listening closely and following each person’s priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods are used when people want to set short-term goals or make concrete changes.
Catherine explains clinical concepts in plain language and keeps tasks practical. Parents or caregivers worried about mood, anger, or changing behavior can expect step-by-step strategies and resource suggestions. Sessions aim to produce doable next steps rather than abstract ideas.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most and shaping sessions around those concerns. It helps when someone wants to talk things through and be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and assigning short exercises between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple exercises to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices are short and can be used between meetings to steady mood and attention.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This is done together and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and then discuss what happened in the next meeting.
