About Catherine
Catherine Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 17 years of professional experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2001 and has spent nearly two decades helping people navigate difficult life moments. Catherine brings a steady, approachable presence to sessions and aims to make therapy feel manageable and practical.
Her background includes work with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and medical challenges.
Background and approach
That range has shaped a pragmatic style that mixes problem-solving with emotional support. Clients can expect straightforward conversation focused on concrete steps between sessions. Catherine keeps sessions warm and non-judgmental.
She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the plan to fit their goals. The aim is to help people build skills, find motivation, and make changes that stick. Anger is one of the concerns she addresses, often alongside stress, sleep problems, grief, or parenting strain.
Catherine helps people notice patterns, practice new reactions, and reduce the intensity of outbursts over time. She also offers support on career decisions and self-esteem work. Outside of clinical work she balances family life in the Houston area with her twin sons, two Dachshunds, and her husband.
That outlook informs a down-to-earth approach in sessions, focused on what will help someone move forward in everyday life.

Everything Catherine lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Catherine's practice.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Many of the methods Catherine uses focus on clear, practical strategies that people can practice between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger reactions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring goals and enhancing motivation with short, focused conversations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine works with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different tools over the first few sessions and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for richer conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, evenings, or short breaks without a commute, while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
