About Catherine
Catherine Lorino uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and mood struggles. She brings three decades of clinical social work experience to sessions and listens without judgment. Catherine is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and works with adults on issues that affect daily life.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people put feelings into words and break big problems into small steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on managing emotions, improving communication, and building skills that make home and work life steadier. Catherine has a long history in community mental health, special education, and service in the United States Army. That background shaped her work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and severe mental health challenges, as well as with families facing crisis.
She also has experience designing programs for students with special needs and training school and community teams. She combines tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-focused methods, and relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method.
Those approaches are used in plain language to address parenting stress, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar conditions. Catherine also presents workshops and trains community groups. Outside of clinical work she is active in veteran causes and raises four children, which informs her practical approach to the everyday pressures parents and caregivers face.

Online support
Approach-driven care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce the hold of anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns, often helping with depression, sleep problems, and impulse control. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how relationships shape emotional responses and communication, which can be useful for relationship strain, parenting issues, and building trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest strategies that fit your needs. Clients and the therapist make those decisions collaboratively, adjusting methods as progress or new concerns appear.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using multiple formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and couples or relationship work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting to see what helps most.
