About
As a clinician with 22 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience in the mental health field. She understands the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine enjoys working with clients who are experiencing self-identity, interpersonal relational issues that affect their job and family dynamics. This is her ideal type of client to work with because there is a lot of self-exploration the client will need to work on first. Some of the issues that will come up are self-loathing, lack of esteem, shame, and poor self-image. As a clinician, Catherine provides them support and total acceptance. When the client can begin to embrace and accept who they are without judgment, they can begin to work on how they relate to other people in all areas of their life. This can be done slowly and one step at a time. The pace is usually set by the client and how they progress along in treatment as they embrace each stage of their new self.
Catherine began her career in the mental health field as a therapist in an inpatient facility, responsible for the patient's ongoing clinical progress while at the hospital. Her patients varied in ages from 10 to 12-year-old children, to 13 to 17-year-old adolescents, to 18 to 55-year-old adults, and seniors who were in crisis. She worked with patients who were diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Anxiety, Major Depression, Obsessive Impulsive Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorder, Alcohol/Drug Dependency, Conduct Disorder, and Sleep disorder, just to name a few.
Catherine really enjoys getting to know people while working with them on their unique concerns. She offers a very supportive and client-centered environment to therapy, and she loves helping clients move toward their goals by being a partner in their journey towards a renewed self and clinically appropriate treatment. She enjoys working with clients and assigning them research-based homework activities to help them work independently on areas of concerns outside of the sessions. Her areas of specialty include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and other researched based therapeutic approaches that are appropriate to treatment.

My approach to online therapy is the same as it is when providing therapy in the office. I encourage clients to make themselves comfortable and have as few distractions as possible in order to get the most out of their therapy experience.
I primarily use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to help clients explore their belief systems, confront cognitive distortions, make positive changes, and improve their overall well-being.
I rely on clients to tell me in which ways they are making progress. We will periodically review and adjust our treatment plan to reflect their progress. I will also provide feedback regarding progress that I’ve recognized so that this is discussed and addressed openly with the client.
I believe that success in therapy is dependent upon the amount of work that the client does outside of session times. This means that clients are encouraged to supplement their time in online therapy by journaling and practicing the various skills that they learn in session.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, pick a comfortable and quiet space. Check your internet connections and update devices and applications prior to your session. Lastly, make note of any questions that you may have regarding the therapist, therapeutic process, initial goals for treatment, and other expectations to be discussed in your initial session.
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Everybody has those days when they feel sad, angry, stressed, frustrated or just plain hopeless. And sometimes, these days turns into weeks, months, years of feeling this way. Letting these difficult emotions fester—as well as the challenges we face—proves to have harmful effects on mental health and wellbeing. But many wonder as they struggle, “What can I do about it?”
Every day begins with an act of courage and hope: getting out of bed.”
–Mason Cooley
You can choose to partner with a therapist, counselor, or psychologist. Mental health professionals devote their work to helping people live happier, healthier lives. And in this day and age, there are convenient, flexible therapy options, including online therapy counseling. Online counseling allows you to work with your therapist via phone call, videoconference, or email. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, reach out to Thriveworks Atlanta, GA online therapy in Sandy Springs. We offer online therapy as well as in-person counseling options. Just call (404) 719-4233 to schedule your appointment.
If you are looking for a convenient alternative to the traditional therapy approach, online therapy is like a good treatment option for you. That said, if you’re looking for a face to face interaction in therapy, you might want to stick with in-person therapy or at least choose videoconference counseling. The truth is that you might not know whether online therapy is the right therapy option for you until you try it! The good news is that there’s nothing to lose here. If you decide online therapy isn’t for you, you can easily begin working with a therapist at our office instead.

To summarize, many of the clients at Thriveworks Atlanta, GA choose to work with their counselor online instead of in-person because it’s more convenient and more comfortable; it’s affordable (many of our clients’ insurance companies cover the cost); it allows greater flexibility in scheduling; and it’s just as effective as in-person therapy.
You can attend your online counseling session in one of three ways: via phone call, video call, or email/chat. If you choose to work with your therapy via phone call, you’ll agree on a day and time to meet (just as you would if you were meeting with them in person) and then answer your therapist’s call. Similarly, with video counseling, you will agree on a set day and time for therapy and then you’ll jump into the chat room or answer your counselor’s video call.
If you decide that you want a more casual therapy experience, especially to start with or as you transition out of therapy, you can decide to work with your therapist via email or chat. Instead of meeting with your counselor for a strict timeslot, you’ll communicate on a regular but flexible basis. Either way, Thriveworks Atlanta, GA has you covered. We can set you up with an online therapist via phone call, videoconference, or email. Just let us know what your preferences are and we’ll do the rest.
