About Catherine
Catherine Goss is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with over 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and questions about life purpose.
She uses a client-centered style that emphasizes active listening and validation. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Catherine uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify their goals and consider practical next steps.
Her background includes work with substance use and co-occurring disorders. She helps people name patterns such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, or isolation, and then practices concrete skills to reduce harmful behaviors. She also supports people processing trauma and attachment difficulties.
In sessions she may draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Catherine aims to help people try a small change, review how it went, and adjust plans based on what feels useful.
People who contact her typically start by describing the problem they want to address. She asks about current goals and recent attempts to make changes. The first meetings focus on clear, manageable steps that fit daily life. If you want to explore purpose after a big change, she works with that as part of the process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on active listening and on understanding the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach typically focus on open questions, reflection, and helping people choose clear next steps for everyday life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; in remote sessions these skills are taught, practiced, and reviewed together.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Catherine will help identify which methods fit the current problem, goals, and what the person prefers. She starts by asking about recent attempts to change, then suggests practical strategies and reviews how those strategies worked in follow-up meetings.

Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists and licensed professionals also find virtual meetings useful for practicing skills between sessions and for keeping momentum during life transitions.
