About Cathryn

Cathryn Charette is a humanistic psychologist and an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) who centers therapy on clients strengths and resilience. She takes a holistic approach that supports people in addressing the patterns and pressures that limit their well being, helping them develop clearer self understanding, stronger decision making, and more confidence in their abilities.

Her work emphasizes self awareness and mindfulness so clients can respond deliberately to life events while remaining true to their values and worldview. She guides people toward what psychologists call earned security - the process of healing from childhood, adult, or relationship trauma to build greater self esteem and more secure ways of relating. Cathryn helps clients learn healthy boundaries, understand motivations and personality, and cultivate a life philosophy that supports problem solving and growth.

Drawing from both clinical experience and evidence based research, she offers a nonjudgmental, wellness oriented framework that integrates compassion, patience, and encouragement. Cathryn works with adults from diverse backgrounds and life stages, focusing on individual experiences, challenges, and goals while honoring the common human needs that connect people.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, practical habits that align actions with those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and managing difficult emotions by combining acceptance strategies with committed action.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and provides a path to developing more secure, trusting bonds. This approach is particularly helpful for relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and healing from relational trauma.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive environment where clients can discover their own solutions. It is well suited to people seeking greater self awareness, self acceptance, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cathryn collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists work together with clients to adapt techniques over time so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or work. These options support consistent progress while accommodating individual routines and accessibility needs.
