I have not been good in the past at prioritizing things like therapy that are good for me. I have learned a lot from my therapist the last nine months. I'm still not good at completing the worksheets and journaling, but I am way more accepting of what I do in general :)
More about Catherine
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Arkansas with 13 years of experience. I have worked with diverse populations, ranging from children to clients 65 years and older. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, anger management, coping with grief and loss, caregiver burnout, and relationship issues. I have helped clients who have experienced emotional, sexual, and physical abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I truly believe it is important to be where my clients are and to be patient in their therapy journey. I will always treat my clients with respect, dignity, and compassion. I avoid any stigmatizing labels. I advocate for my clients and their needs. I strive for integrity and honesty while helping my clients through their journey. My approach combines cognitive- behavioral, solutions- focused therapy, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I understand that our sessions are your stories and experiences. It takes courage, strength, and perseverance to overcome struggles in life. I would love to help you through these struggles and to help you find the inner strength you are seeking. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

My therapist helps me to have insight to navigating life and doing what is best for me so I can be a better person for not only my self but others in my life.
She is great. She helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life!
I love her!! I can speak to her on my level.
Catherine is SO MUCH BETTER than my last therapist. She is seriously awesome and she cares about how I feel. I hope I get to see Catherine until I no longer need therapy.
Catherine is exact who I would want in a therapist, she really listens and gives responses that make me really think deep and learn more about myself so I can grow and move forward! I think my experience with her and better help has been exactly what I needed from therapy :)
Great!
Catherine is very kind, listens with care, always helpful and respects my thoughts and ideas. Catherine is very easy to talk to and I feel very confident in the assistance I am receiving. Would highly recommend Catherine to anyone who needs help.
Catherine Pettus has been an excellent confident during my time of need. I am glad I have sought out therapy and have been paired with her. She is great at guiding me where I need guidance without making me feel bad about needing help. I hope to accomplish a lot more with her expertise.
