Catherine has been such a tremendous help to me. I appreciate the flexible means of communication and times for scheduling, but more so I love the grounded support and tools she provides. Catherine gives me the scaffolding I need to be able to stand on my own two feet, and the strategies we've been practicing help to reign in my anxiety and depression a little more everyday.

Hello! My name is Catherine Barbour, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I received by BA from Emory University in 1999 and my Masters in Social Work degree from the University of Central Florida in 2008. I have worked across various settings, including an outdoor therapeutic program counseling teens, in home counseling with children and families, and as a medical social worker in a hospital system. I have worked with adolescents, parents, older adults, and families. I have worked across a wide range of issues, from anxiety, depression, and Bipolar Disorder, substance abuse issues, ADHD, anger management, issues of abuse and neglect (child and adult victims), family dynamics/communication issues, grief/loss, and most recently mental and physical health issues related to the pandemic. I utilize an eclectic approach, always from a strengths-based perspective, utilizing solution focused and Cognitive Behavioral models, as well as trauma informed brief therapy. I approach every client as an individual. I believe counseling is a place not only to address the challenges of today, but to work on creating the life that you dream of! I would love the privilege of supporting you on your path, whether you're addressing anxiety, coping with grief, improving communication with a loved one, or making goals for your next adventure in life, I would be honored to begin this BetterHelp journey with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
