About Catherine
Rev. Catherine Bogue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 47 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and a range of emotional and life‑stage concerns. She supports people facing intense emotions and complicated transitions.
Catherine uses straightforward conversation to help people name feelings that are hard to describe. She often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions affect connections and behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those fit the situation.
Her work addresses difficult topics such as trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault recovery, and process addictions. She helps people manage shame, guilt, and dissociation while building practical coping strategies. Sessions include talking through what matters most and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Catherine has experience with veterans, older adults, and people navigating midlife transitions. She also supports issues around family of origin, blended families, caregiving and end-of-life concerns. Her background includes long clinical practice with varied populations and complex presentations.
Practical matters are part of her approach. She works with people on substance use, anger, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. People are invited to begin by identifying a few immediate goals and then building steps to reach them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and how they shape relationships and behavior. Online sessions can use EFT to help people recognize emotional patterns and practice new ways of responding to intense feelings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarify values to guide action. In remote sessions ACT can provide practical exercises and short home practices to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration guides whether EFT, ACT, CBT or DBT techniques are emphasized.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before scheduling. Online work can make therapy easier to fit in around jobs, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce time spent traveling, and let people work from quieter surroundings when that helps them focus.
