About Catherine
Catherine Edwards is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping people handle stress and anxiety, heal from trauma and abuse, and improve relationship connection. Her style is practical and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that looks at what is happening now and what small changes make daily life easier. Catherine draws on methods that teach skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and strengthening communication.
Background and approach
She works with couples on trust and emotional intimacy as well as with individuals facing family and self-esteem struggles. With four years of experience she blends structured skill-building with emotionally-focused work. That means sessions may include learning new communication habits, practicing emotion regulation techniques, and exploring relationship patterns that repeat over time.
Catherine uses tools from the Gottman Method alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and problems with impulse control. She also helps people processing divorce, family of origin wounds, guilt, and shame.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Catherine prefers a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and building trust between partners. It uses practical exercises to reduce conflict and increase emotional connection, which can help couples who want clearer ways to talk and repair trust.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that align with personal values. This approach can help people struggling with anxiety, stress, or problems that tie to avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients are invited to give feedback and help choose which tools feel most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work in real time and practice communication exercises with a therapist. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or camera time is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
