About Catherine

Catherine Schully is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with eight years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also touches on attachment issues, codependency, family of origin concerns, and questions about sexuality and relationship styles.

Catherine uses a structured, goal-oriented style. Sessions often include exercises and short homework tasks to practice new ways of responding outside the session. She emphasizes learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings instead of trying to push them away.

Clients can expect practical conversations about what gets in the way of feeling like themselves. Catherine breaks problems into manageable steps and tries simple, repeatable skills in session. Over time these skills are used to reduce the impact of stress and to make clearer choices about relationships and values.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. That means she works with clients to notice their thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions toward those values. Exercises are aimed at increasing willingness to feel uncomfortable while still moving forward.

Catherine frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people try ideas, review results, and adjust plans when needed. Prospective clients in Arizona who want to begin are encouraged to confirm session options before booking.

How sessions work

How ACT and Client-Centered Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses exercises to clarify personal values and to try small actions that match those values, which can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and low self-esteem.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can make their own choices. In practice this means the therapist asks questions and echoes back concerns so clients can see options more clearly and decide what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to test methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That means trying an ACT exercise one week and a client-centered check-in the next to see what fits.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use less bandwidth by relying on audio only when needed. Licensed professionals, including therapists with ACT and client-centered backgrounds, often adapt exercises so they work in an online setting and to match everyday life demands.
