Catherine Rodriguez , LMHC

Catherine Rodriguez is a licensed mental health professional practicing in New York with three years of clinical experience. As an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), she offers supportive, strengths-focused care for people navigating stress, high anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy concerns, and related life challenges. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, addictions, trauma, eating and food-related struggles, and career or parenting transitions.

Catherine approaches therapy from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and she aims to help clients notice and build on their existing resources. Her work centers on collaboration and practical steps toward change, combining empathy with evidence-informed methods to address patterns that contribute to distress. She tailors interventions to fit individual goals, whether someone seeks relief from anxiety, help repairing relationships, or guidance through major life changes.

Seeking therapy requires courage, and Catherine emphasizes empowering clients as they pursue a more fulfilling and satisfying life. She provides steady support while helping clients identify values, set achievable goals, and develop skills to manage difficulties and strengthen connections with themselves and others.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and commit to actions that reflect what matters most, while teaching skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them - this approach can help with anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and coping difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and fosters a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship that supports self-exploration, confidence building, and stronger interpersonal connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself; Catherine Rodriguez, as a licensed professional, collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts techniques over time to support progress and to keep therapy aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Catherine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and other commitments, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or circumstances change. The variety of formats also lets clients choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for them.
