About Catherine
Catherine Diosdado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, and family concerns. Sessions are practical and focused on what is happening now.
Catherine views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. She offers straightforward conversations that break down problems into manageable steps. People can expect clear goals and simple strategies to try between sessions.
Her background includes long experience as a social worker in varied settings. That history informs a practical approach to real-life pressures such as work, caregiving, legal systems, and life transitions. She uses methods that support decision-making and emotion management.
Catherine draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of her toolbox for managing stress and building motivation to change.
Clients who are dealing with adoption or foster care questions, blended family issues, divorce or separation, and family-of-origin concerns will find focused attention on those topics. She also works with people facing guilt, shame, dissociation, and co-occurring conditions.
Practical matters such as communication problems, commitment issues, control struggles, and first responder stress are commonly discussed. The emphasis is on clear steps, workable strategies, and steady progress over time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. Online work can include reviewing thought records, setting small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between sessions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people relate now. In virtual sessions this can mean talking through relationship patterns, noticing emotional triggers, and practicing new ways of connecting or communicating.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday responsibilities. That decision is reviewed as work progresses so adjustments can be made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. They can make it easier to have short check-ins, schedule appointments at different times of day, or avoid travel, all of which help therapy fit into a busy life.
