She is so kind. She offers a listening ear and leads me to different resources on the path I am on. She is sympathetic to me and she comes across so understanding and gentle yet grounding me in the here and now. I am grateful for her. This is an emotional time for me and I needed her to be gentle yet grounding. Thank Ms Ahanonu

I am licensed in Wyoming with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Cathryn is an amazing therapist. I have had therapy with her for the past 1.5 years and I am enormously thankful for her support through hard times. Cathryn understands me well, she is a great listener with a sense of humor, and she provides different techniques and different resources but on the other hand, these instruments are not overwhelming and easy to use and most importantly on point and effective. Cathryn always has the right words to say and great advice to give. I am grateful to find her on this platform.
Amazing therapist. She really listens and knows what my main point is when I ramble on and sometimes knows my point when I don't know it. She gives actionable advice each week and is so pleasant, non-judgmental, and fun. Highly recommend
Katie has been wonderful to work with. She makes excellent suggestions on how to cope and work through my struggles providing me with real life tools that are truly helpful when I have been in a stressful situation. She reminds me of my faith and encourages prayer which is so very important to me.
