Catherine Kimrey is a Minnesota-based therapist with 18 years of professional experience. She is licensed in Washington and holds LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) credentials, which indicate licensure to provide counseling services.

She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and depression. Her work is grounded in practical support and collaborative exploration of steps clients can take toward greater emotional balance and clearer priorities.

Catherine emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and examined at a client's pace. Building trust and honoring each person's values are central to her approach, and she aims to help clients feel supported as they navigate difficult life moments.

Recognizing that seeking help requires courage, she focuses on empowerment and practical encouragement so clients can move toward a more fulfilling life.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Catherine draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings, values, and goals; this approach is often helpful for relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address depression. Mindfulness Therapy is another common element of her work and teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices that can ease rumination, support emotional regulation, and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Catherine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of the therapeutic journey.
