About Catherine
Catherine Goss is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with more than 15 years in the mental health field. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and parenting strains. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and regain a sense of control.
She uses a Client-Centered Therapy approach that emphasizes active listening and unconditional positive regard. That means sessions focus on the person's experience, not labels. Catherine also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for coping, emotion regulation, and managing impulsivity when those tools are helpful.
Catherine often works with people facing mood disorders, bipolar challenges, panic and social anxiety, and problems related to attachment and abandonment. She also brings experience supporting those with substance use concerns and co-occurring issues that complicate recovery.
In sessions she listens first, then helps set clear, practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations aim to reduce shame and build everyday habits that make life more manageable. She practices motivational interviewing to help people find reasons that lead to lasting change.
Based in Montana, Catherine conducts therapy in English and draws on years of field experience to tailor the work to each person. To begin, she asks people to share their current struggles and goals so the plan fits real life and feels achievable.

In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the person, helping them weigh options and take steps that feel right. It often helps with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing impulsivity. These skills can be useful for people struggling with panic, mood swings, substance use urges, or strong reactions to stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term objectives and practical homework so sessions connect to everyday life.
