About Catherine
Catherine Mishoe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma and abuse. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem and career changes.
She is openly kink-friendly and understands consensual BDSM, fetishes, and alternative sexual cultures. Clients can raise kink-related or non-kink concerns without explaining terminology or fearing judgment. Building trust and rapport is a clear early focus in her sessions.
Her style is caring and interactive. She works with sensitivity and respect and involves clients in choosing goals and next steps. Sessions are described as collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Catherine uses a mix of practical methods including cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening. She adapts techniques to the person’s goals as the therapeutic relationship develops. Progress is shaped around what the individual finds most helpful.
People seek her help for a wide range of issues beyond mood and anxiety, including anger, intimacy-related problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, body image, chronic illness or pain, and eating or food-related issues. She also lists attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among focus areas.
If someone decides to start, she supports them through early steps and goal-setting. The tone of her practice emphasizes support, respect, and practical collaboration toward clearer coping and more satisfying daily life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel heard as they talk through painful or confusing experiences.Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional patterns in relationships and personal bonds. It helps people name emotions, understand how those feelings shape connection, and practice new ways of responding to improve closeness and safety in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust techniques as you progress. Collaboration helps pick what works best rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and offer flexible scheduling options. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Talking with a licensed professional online still allows for step-by-step work using CBT, mindfulness, or emotion-focused techniques adapted for remote sessions, and sessions can be planned to suit everyday routines like work breaks or family schedules.
