About Catherine
Catherine Kimrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She practices from Minnesota and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
She uses clear, person-focused conversation to help people name what feels difficult. Sessions aim to make space for thoughts and feelings without judgment, and to explore practical steps clients can try between meetings. Catherine emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than big sudden shifts.
Her background includes work across relationship strain, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and challenges tied to aging and midlife transitions. She also has experience addressing codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and isolation or loneliness.
Catherine draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s concerns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Mindfulness Therapy to build attention and calm. Trauma-Focused and Systemic approaches inform her work when histories or family patterns are relevant.
In sessions she helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track small progress. People who are managing life changes, grief, or persistent worry often find this step-by-step style useful. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How Catherine applies therapy approaches online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT breaks problems into concrete steps and teaches practical skills to test new ways of reacting.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the room. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies which concerns to prioritize in sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts techniques based on how a person responds.
