About Catherine
Catherine Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship strain. Catherine takes a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make steps feel manageable for busy parents and adults.
She listens without judgment and helps clients find clearer ways to respond to daily challenges. She has seven years of experience working in counseling roles, including three years before licensure and four years as a licensed clinician.
Background and approach
That background includes supporting people with parenting concerns, family conflict, intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related struggles. Her practice blends practical tools with attention to each person’s life story. Catherine works from a client-centered stance, which means she shapes sessions around each person’s goals and perspective.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Solution-focused strategies help clients test small changes and notice what works in real life. In sessions she emphasizes clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and steady progress.
She brings a faith-informed personal perspective but does not promote any religious agenda; she meets people where they are. Many clients appreciate the balance of empathy and practical coaching she offers. If someone wants to begin, Catherine guides them through a simple intake and goal-setting process so therapy can start with a clear plan.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it focuses on practical changes that affect daily life.Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens with respect and shapes the work around what matters most to the client, which helps build trust and clearer priorities.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, achievable steps and what is already working. It’s helpful when someone wants quick, doable changes to improve coping, relationships, or parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past efforts. Together they decide which combination of strategies feels most useful and adjust the plan over time based on results and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier on low bandwidth, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, parenting, and daily life.
