About Catherine
Catherine Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Catherine also helps people who are wrestling with life purpose, attachment concerns, codependency, dissociation, and workplace strain.
She uses clear, evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches. In sessions she focuses on practical skills, looking at thoughts and behaviors, and building steady coping strategies. Catherine treats issues related to substance use and recovery as part of her addiction work.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current feelings and choices. Catherine helps people notice patterns like shame, guilt, and emptiness and then practices alternatives that fit their daily life.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She asks about what matters to each person and what steps feel manageable. Goals might include reducing anxiety, improving boundaries, addressing trauma symptoms, or clarifying a sense of life purpose.
Many clients come wanting concrete tools they can use between sessions. Catherine offers repeated practice of skills and short-term strategies alongside deeper work when it is needed. People leave sessions with specific next steps they can try between meetings.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and workplace stress. CBT often uses concrete exercises you can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotion regulation. It can help with codependency, abandonment fears, and rebuilding trust in connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about goals and daily life before deciding which methods to emphasize. She treats this as a collaborative process and may combine approaches to suit what a person wants to change and how quickly they need practical tools.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the places they actually live. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for virtual meetings so that behavioral practice and skills homework remain central parts of treatment.
