About Catherine
Catherine Goss is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 15 years of experience in mental health practice in Montana. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related areas such as panic, isolation, and social anxiety and phobia. Catherine uses a direct, person-centered way of talking that focuses on listening and respect.
In sessions she emphasizes active listening and clear feedback. She aims to help people recognize patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning. Practical skills and moment-to-moment problem solving are part of her work when needed. Catherine also brings experience supporting people with drug and alcohol addiction and co-occurring concerns.
Her client-centered orientation means the person’s goals guide each session. She uses motivational interviewing elements to help people make changes they want to keep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered for emotion regulation and crisis skills when those strategies fit the situation.
People can expect straightforward conversation, reflection, and skill practice rather than lengthy clinical lectures. Catherine encourages small, concrete steps that build confidence over time. She helps people sort what matters most and plan manageable next moves.
Catherine practices in Montana and conducts sessions in English. Her LCPC credential is listed as MT LCPC. For people wanting to begin, she asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client’s own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify next steps. It suits concerns where understanding personal values and choices matters.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. These skills are often useful for people coping with intense moods, impulsivity, or panic. Catherine may introduce short exercises and practice tasks that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with the client about what feels most useful and try different methods to match goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework or practice tasks.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for focused check-ins or skill practice between sessions. Some people find phone check-ins use less bandwidth, while video sessions allow for more face-to-face interaction; the therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling and therapeutic goals.
