As a survivor of domestic violence, I bring a deep personal understanding of how trauma shapes a person’s life, which fuels my passion for empowering others with compassion, hope, and guidance as they reclaim their voice, rebuild confidence, and move forward with resilience.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 3 years of experience providing mental health services to adults and children in telehealth and agency settings. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Troy University. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care to support emotional regulation, insight, and healthy coping skills.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you build clarity, stability, and resilience at your own pace. When you are ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take the next step in your healing journey.

I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely understood, and I bring authenticity, compassion, and a grounded therapeutic presence to help you grow at your own pace.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in helping individuals navigate emotional regulation, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and long-standing patterns that feel difficult to change. I often work with clients experiencing anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and feelings of being misunderstood in their relationships or family systems.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of West Alabama. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and strength-based therapy to help clients gain insight, manage emotions, and build healthier coping patterns.
I understand that reaching out for support takes courage, and you deserve a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative, offering practical tools and steady support as you work toward clarity, confidence, and meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

If you are seeking to overcome the burden of anxiety, depression, or negative self-talk, I am equipped with the knowledge, resources, and compassion to meet you where you are to help you reach your goals.
Catherine K. Thompson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience working with a variety of populations. Her specialties include adults with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, and childhood trauma. She also specializes in assisting women navigating the various challenges of motherhood, along with people of color.
Catherine earned her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern Mississippi. She believes that therapy is not a “one-size fits all” approach, and she utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy as most applicable to meet the client’s needs.
For some, the idea of therapy is without stigma and openly welcomed. For others, it’s one of the hardest decisions they will make. It is easy to remain in familiarity. Catherine is extending an olive branch in hopes that you will make the hard decision now to achieve the peace you desire in the future.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
No matter the length or nature of your relationship, every partnership has its ups and downs. Disagreements and frustrations are a natural and common part of coexisting with another person.
