About Caterina

Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family issues, parenting, self-esteem, and bipolar mood concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Cathe often helps people notice how patterns from their family of origin affect daily choices and relationships. She listens closely and uses practical, skills-based approaches to address recurring problems. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes people can try between sessions.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to track thoughts and behaviors tied to mood. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify personal goals and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete next steps. These methods are used to manage anxiety, depression, and relationship tensions, and to support parents coping with stress.

Across her career Cathe has worked with adults across a range of life stages and health concerns. That background informs how she supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, adoption or foster care questions, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics. She brings straightforward feedback and practical strategies.

People meeting with Cathe can expect clear discussion of goals, choices to try between sessions, and review of what is or isn’t working. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's booking flow.

How Cathe Uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that come from family-of-origin expectations. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and building commitment to small changes. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and quick experiments. Sessions often identify one or two things to try between meetings and review what changed. Choosing an approach is collaborative. Cathe will talk through goals, try different techniques, and adjust what she does based on what helps most. The first sessions typically include goal setting and a plan for concrete actions. Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on family patterns, parenting stress, mood, and relationships.
