Catherine Barbour , LCSW

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Florida, with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and parenting or family conflicts. She also supports people facing grief, chronic illness, ADHD, anger, and life transitions.

Her background includes work in outdoor therapeutic programs for teens, in-home counseling with children and families, and medical social work in a hospital system. Those settings shaped how she approaches practical problems and crisis moments. She has worked directly with adolescents, parents, older adults, and in family contexts.

Catherine uses approaches that fit the person in front of her rather than one fixed method. She commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy, solution-focused work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also incorporates trauma-focused ideas when past harm affects daily life.

In sessions she looks at strengths and concrete changes. That may mean setting small goals, practicing new ways to manage anxiety, or working through grief with clear steps. Communication skills and coping strategies are frequent focuses, especially when family or caregiving responsibilities are involved.

Her clinical experience includes helping with blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness impacts, loneliness, forgiveness and guilt, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. People who want straightforward, practical support around mood, behavior, and family communication often find this approach useful.
