About Catherine
Catherine Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Pennsylvania with four years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Catherine works with individual adults and with couples. Sessions are conducted in English.
Catherine uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her core approaches when people want to understand the emotions beneath recurring relationship patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and elements of the Gottman Method are part of her toolbox for communication and emotion regulation work.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps. People can expect to talk about recent difficulties and recurring interactions that keep problems stuck. Catherine helps name emotions, notice patterns, and try new responses in the moment. She also supports work on boundaries, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust when relationships have been damaged.
Catherine often works with issues that arise from attachment wounds, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She addresses codependency, control and communication problems, and the fallout from divorce or family-of-origin struggles. Her approach pairs discussion with concrete skills practice.

How Catherine Uses EFT, ACT and CBT Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples notice and name the emotions that drive repeated interaction patterns. It looks at how attachment needs show up in relationships and guides new ways of responding to each other. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, offering practical strategies to change them.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will talk with each client about their goals and try approaches that fit those goals. Together they review what works, adjust methods, and set clear, manageable steps for sessions and between-session practice.
