Catherine Kimrey, LMHC, LPCC

Catherine Kimrey is a licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and depression. Catherine focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and more manageable.

She aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and testing small changes that can feel achievable. Catherine encourages clients to notice what works and adjust as needed.

Her approach draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to strengthen awareness and reduce reactivity. She also uses trauma-focused and systemic methods when past events or relationship patterns are a clear part of the problem.

Catherine has worked across diverse settings over nearly two decades, supporting people through life transitions, loss, midlife shifts, and caregiving stress. She brings steady, practical support rather than quick fixes. People leave sessions with concrete options to try between meetings.

She is licensed in Washington as an LMHC and holds an LPCC credential in Minnesota. Sessions are conducted in English and are intended to help people take steps toward clearer thinking, stronger coping, and more satisfying day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear steps and experiments. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the client sets the pace and direction. This approach supports people who need time to explore feelings and make decisions without pressure.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn't working or feels off track.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short visit is helpful. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what will fit your schedule and what to expect from remote sessions.
