About Catherine
Catherine Lorino is a licensed social worker who uses practical, relationship-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She brings 30 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on clear, doable steps people can try between appointments.
Catherine blends the Gottman Method with therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work to support better communication and emotional connection. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions center on things people can practice at home to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Her background includes work in community mental health, special education, and service in the United States Army. That experience shaped her skill at assessing complex situations and planning realistic next steps.
Catherine has worked extensively with concerns such as trauma, post-traumatic stress, depression, and severe mental health conditions. She has trained educators and led community workshops, and she has experience designing data-based programs for students with special needs and challenging behavior. Her teaching roles include Crisis Prevention Institute training and Youth Mental Health First Aid instruction.
Outside of clinical work she is a parent and involved in veteran causes, which informs her practical focus on everyday life challenges. People seeking clear communication skills, stress management tools, or help navigating major life transitions may find her approach goal-oriented and straightforward.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches to try online
Gottman-informed work focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict between partners. It uses structured conversations and skill practice to help people talk about issues without escalating into hurtful cycles.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-driven action so people can move toward what matters even when emotions are strong.
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connection and trust. It helps people understand emotional needs and try new ways of relating that build safety and closeness.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face work and practicing conversations, while phone calls can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, homework guidance, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make therapy more flexible for busy lives and people in different places.
