About Cathryn
Cathryn Charette is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings five years of clinical experience and a humanistic approach that centers on people’s strengths. Cathryn encourages self-awareness and mindfulness to help clients respond to life with more clarity and choice.
She focuses on helping people understand themselves and their relationships. Sessions often address stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy, parenting, and addiction. Cathryn also works with concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and attention differences.
Her work blends mindfulness with practical therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. She emphasizes learning healthier boundaries, improving communication, and building a more secure sense of self. The goal is to develop tools that fit daily life and values.
Cathryn frames therapy as a collaborative process. She uses a nonjudgmental, wellness-based stance and draws on research as well as lived experience. Sessions aim to increase self-compassion, patience, and the ability to make choices that reflect each person’s values.
People who seek more awareness, clearer relationship patterns, or help coping with change may find this style helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to ensure they match your needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy is about paying attention on purpose and noticing thoughts and feelings without rushing to fix them. It helps with anxiety, stress, and learning to respond rather than react. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps to act in line with personal values while accepting hard emotions. It can be useful for depression, worry, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that developed early in life and helps people build more comfortable and trusting ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cathryn will work collaboratively to see which combination of methods fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and exercises so the work feels useful and doable in everyday life.
Confirm current session-format options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for sessions that focus on learning exercises and mindfulness practice that transfer into daily routines.
