Catherine GossLCPC

Catherine Goss is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with more than 15 years in mental health work. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and the emotional side of pregnancy and postpartum changes. Her style is calm and direct, and she focuses on listening carefully and responding with respect.

In sessions she emphasizes person-centered care. That means clients set the pace and topics while she offers attentive listening and steady support. Catherine uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change.

She also brings experience treating addictions and co-occurring mood concerns. That experience informs work around impulses, guilt, shame, and relapse prevention in plain, practical terms. Clients often work on skills to manage strong emotions, reduce risky behaviors, and rebuild routines.

Catherine integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, using concrete strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She pairs those tools with the person-centered focus of respect and nonjudgmental support to make sessions collaborative and goal-oriented.

Based in Montana, she works in English and draws on long clinical experience to help people navigate life changes, parenting pressures, and relationship strain.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work through parenting stress, mood shifts, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and coping with distress. Those skills are useful for anxiety, mood disorders, addiction recovery, and postpartum overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose which methods to try first and will adjust plans according to progress and preferences. That shared decision-making helps make therapy feel relevant and doable for busy parents or people balancing many demands.

Session formats for this therapist are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a hectic schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and parent, then bring questions back to the session for coaching and problem-solving.
