About Catherine

Catherine Diosdado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with 14 years of professional clinical experience and 25 years working as a social worker across diverse settings. She draws on long-standing clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and challenges within relationships and family systems.

Her practice also includes work with adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, co-morbidity concerns, codependency, commitment issues, communication and control difficulties, dissociation, and mood dysregulation such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Catherine brings focused attention to family of origin issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame, aiming to address the complex ways these themes affect daily life.

Catherine approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding that each person is the expert in their own story and has resources that can be mobilized for change. She values the courage it takes to begin therapy and seeks to create a respectful, collaborative process that helps individuals build on their strengths while working toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps clients explore relational histories to improve intimate relationships and regulate emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients access their own solutions; this approach supports self-directed growth and increased self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches strategies to change unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Catherine collaborates with each person to determine which approaches or combination of approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different tools and adjusting the plan over time so therapy aligns with what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. Working remotely with licensed professionals and therapists can increase access to consistent support while preserving the collaborative, skills-based work Catherine emphasizes.
