About Catherine
Catherine Kimrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Washington and practices with Minnesota listed as her location. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and depression.
Catherine uses straightforward conversation to help people notice how their early family roles and patterns still affect daily life. She listens for repeated behaviors and expectations that came from childhood and talks through how those habits show up now. That includes addressing family of origin issues when those patterns are part of the difficulty.
Her sessions draw on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's experience and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors that reinforce problems. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help people be more present and Trauma-Focused and Systemic approaches when deeper history or relational patterns are relevant.
In practical terms sessions involve naming the problem, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. She encourages simple experiments between sessions so people can notice different outcomes. Conversations are direct and concrete, with steps you can try right away.
People who come for help with caregiving strain, blended family dynamics, divorce-related issues, guilt or shame, or midlife concerns may find this approach useful. Catherine also addresses isolation, forgiveness, communication breakdowns, and infidelity-related distress. She works in English and does not accept international clients.
How Catherine’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach often center on the client's concerns, allowing the therapist to reflect what matters most and help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing different behaviors, and practicing exercises between meetings. Finding the best method is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss your needs and preferences and help decide which approaches to emphasize. That collaborative decision is reviewed over the first few sessions so the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness or CBT exercises at predictable times. Verify whether video or phone sessions are offered and choose the format that fits your routine.Areas of expertise
