Cathrine Troy , LPCC

Cathrine Troy brings more than three decades of clinical experience, combining professional training with personal insight to support people facing addiction, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She draws on intuition, empathy, creativity, and ongoing professional learning to tailor sessions that meet each person where they are and help them move toward more satisfying, functional lives.

As an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - based in New Mexico, she blends practical therapeutic skills with a strengths-based perspective, treating clients as experts in their own lives while offering guidance, tools, and accountability. Her background as an adoptive parent informs her understanding of adoption and family dynamics, and she works with issues that range from parenting difficulties and attachment concerns to coping with stress, anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Cathrine supports people through both small adjustments and major transitions, whether the goal is to address compulsive behavior, improve intimate relationships, manage career or identity questions, or process loss and trauma. She emphasizes honesty, openness, and courage in the change process and partners with clients to identify realistic steps and build lasting resilience. Her approach centers on collaboration, practical strategies, and fostering self-awareness to promote healing and growth.

Approaches to Healing Online and How They Help

Cathrine Troy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize safety, coping skills, and relational repair. One approach focuses on trauma-informed care - creating a pace and structure that helps people process painful experiences, reduce symptoms related to past harm, and rebuild a sense of safety in relationships and daily life. Another approach centers on skills-based work for stress, anxiety, and addictive patterns - teaching practical strategies for managing overwhelming emotions, reducing harmful behaviors, and strengthening coping capacity. A third area emphasizes relational and family-focused work - helping partners and family members improve communication, set boundaries, and restore intimacy and trust.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Cathrine collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that fit best, adjusting the plan over time so treatment stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to receive consistent support from a licensed professional without rearranging major parts of life, making it easier to attend sessions during work, parenting, or other responsibilities while maintaining therapeutic continuity.
