About Catherine
Catherine Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults wrestling with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Catherine also addresses attachment and codependency patterns that make it hard to set boundaries or put needs first.
She focuses on practical steps in sessions. Catherine treats problems by listening to a client's story and highlighting the strengths they already have. Sessions often involve learning specific skills to manage anxiety, handle cravings, or reduce overwhelming emotional reactions.
Catherine uses a mix of proven methods to match the situation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel intense.
She also pays attention to attachment patterns that shape how people relate to others. That can help when someone keeps putting others first, fears abandonment, or loses a sense of self in relationships. Catherine helps people notice those patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what helps in day-to-day life. People can expect clear ideas to practice between sessions and a focus on concrete progress toward their goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It can be useful for breaking out of people-pleasing patterns and moving toward a more self-directed life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. That approach is often used for anxiety and depression by teaching skills to shift thinking and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and handling distress without acting on it. Those tools can help when feelings of overwhelm or shame make it hard to set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Catherine treats it as a collaboration. She will help you figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as you learn what helps. The aim is to combine approaches in a way that makes sense for day-to-day life.
