Catherine Kluge , LPC

Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has provided mental health care since 2001 and brings 25 years of clinical experience across hospital, community mental health, and substance use treatment settings. She holds a Master’s in Counseling from Webster University. As an LPC she is a licensed mental health counselor qualified to provide psychotherapy and counseling services.

Over the course of her career she has worked with teens and adults facing depression, stress and anxiety, substance use and addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, parenting and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem challenges, and other life transitions. Her experience in diverse treatment environments has shaped an approach that honors the strengths and life tools that brought each person to therapy.

Catherine practices from a client-centered stance and integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and mindfulness strategies to help clients clarify goals, increase functioning, and explore new perspectives. She emphasizes collaboration - meeting clients where they are, respecting their direction, and working together to identify practical steps and new ways of coping in a non-judgmental setting.

Her work is grounded in the belief that people have an instinct toward wellness when treated with dignity and respect, and she offers steady professional support for those navigating addiction recovery, grief, parenting challenges, workplace stress, relationship conflict, and other life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and strengths, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can guide the work; it is often helpful for stress, relationship and family concerns, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices of present-moment awareness that reduce reactivity and improve coping, which can support emotional regulation, impulse control, and ongoing recovery efforts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine Kluge and other licensed professionals work collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and they adapt methods over time so the therapeutic plan fits each individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, school, or medical needs. These formats make it easier to maintain regular support, try different session styles, and continue progress when life requires adaptability.
