Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison, LISW

Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, caregiving strain, and relationship concerns. She is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker - with 23 years of experience. Cathe writes plainly and listens closely to each person who reaches out.

Her approach centers on clear steps people can try between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set and reach short-term goals.

Cathe has worked across many settings over two decades. That experience includes supporting people dealing with trauma or abuse, chronic illness and pain, parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress. She also helps with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, self-esteem, and eating or body-image issues.

In a session she listens first, then helps identify small, practical steps to try at home. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters most to the individual. She aims to help clients build tools they can use when challenges return.

How these approaches work in online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include setting clear practice tasks between meetings, like tracking moods or trying small behavior changes, which can fit into a busy caregiver schedule.

Motivational Interviewing centers on helping a person find their own reasons to change. In remote sessions this looks like guided conversations that build confidence and clarify next steps, useful for starting or sustaining changes in routines or care roles.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on immediate goals and strengths. Online meetings can be efficient for setting short-term targets and checking progress each week.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which approach or combination to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fewer travel needs, which can help caregivers fit sessions around other responsibilities. If you prefer a specific session format, confirm the available options before booking so you know what kinds of meetings are possible.
