Cathalene Silver, LCPC, LMFT

Cathalene Silver is a licensed therapist with 30 years of practice as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She creates a calm, affirming space for people facing big life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, and grief.

Her work emphasizes a person-centered, holistic style. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and build on their existing strengths. She listens for patterns in relationships, attachment, and self-worth, then helps clients try new ways of relating and coping.

Cathalene has long experience supporting people in the LGBTQ community and those dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, and addiction concerns. She also helps people navigate midlife shifts, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and concerns tied to aging and geriatric issues.

In practical terms she uses tools from acceptance-based and cognitive approaches alongside attachment work and emotion-focused skills. Therapy may include learning skills to manage upsetting thoughts, practicing clearer communication, and making values-based decisions.

Her aim is to help people find steadier ground and clearer choices across stress, relationship strain, or life transitions. To begin, she asks about current concerns and goals, and then shapes sessions to fit each person’s needs and pace.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on living by their values. It often uses exercises to clarify what matters and small steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new ways of relating in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they select or blend methods that fit the situation and adjust as needed over time.

The therapist’s biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Many people choose online work to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can support learning new skills, practicing communication, and staying consistent through life transitions while adapting timing and session length to daily routines.
