Rev. Catherine Bogue, LCSW

Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker with 47 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and addiction. Her work also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. Conversations center on what matters now and on simple steps people can try between meetings. She listens for what feels stuck and helps clients shape practical strategies to manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.

Her background includes long experience helping people who've lived through trauma, loss, and major life shifts. She supports those dealing with hospice and end-of-life issues, hearing impairment, and the challenges of aging and geriatric issues. Her experience also covers substance-related difficulties and complex family dynamics.

Therapeutic approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches guide how she and a client decide which tools to use in sessions.

Sessions aim to build skills for emotion regulation, improve relationship patterns, and clarify values and goals. Rev. Bogue encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. International clients may be accepted when arrangements fit both parties.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values despite hard feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day by avoiding travel and allowing appointments during work breaks or evenings. Online work can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, experiment with skills in daily life, and maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to the online setting to focus on practical skills, emotional processing, and planning for next steps.
