About Catherine
Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens on concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship problems, grief, and ADHD. Catherine also lists codependency among her focus areas and helps people who find themselves putting others first or struggling with boundaries.
She trained at Webster University and has worked in hospitals, community mental health, and substance use treatment settings. That range shaped a practical approach to helping people manage moods, stress, and addictive patterns. Catherine emphasizes a respectful, person-directed process rather than one-size-fits-all fixes.
Sessions start by listening to a person’s story and identifying what they want to change. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, and brings in cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change, and narrative therapy helps people reframe their life stories.
In therapy she focuses on concrete goals like improving sleep, reducing panic, managing cravings, or strengthening communication. She also helps with grief, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and mood disorders including bipolar presentations. Her language is straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on tools that fit daily life.
People who are considering work on codependency or boundary setting will find a clinician who blends listening with practical steps. To begin, people follow the site's intake flow and schedule an initial session to map out goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions let Catherine hear a person's story and set goals together, with the client directing the pace and topics.Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-focused. In online sessions CBT can be used to identify unhelpful thoughts, try behavioral experiments, and build routines for sleep, anxiety, or cravings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can be guided live and repeated between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and everyday life. She will discuss whether CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or narrative techniques are the best fit and adjust based on progress and preference.
The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins when time is limited, and allow exercises like guided breathing or thought records to be done during or between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so sessions focus on usable tools and steady steps toward the goals a person sets.
