Getting to know Caterina Poehner

Hi there, I'm Caterina! Many people can say they have experienced a point in their life where they would benefit from support: whether it's with a personal goal, challenges with people in one's life, or facing some kind of obstacle that life has thrown their way. I'm here to support you while you face the challenges you are struggling with by providing new perspectives, gentle challenges, practicing communication and coping skills, and giving encouragement through your journey. My care is client-centered, strength-based, and collaborative as I tailor sessions to meet your individual needs and goals. If you are ready, I am here to provide you with a safe environment where you can be yourself and find support. My approach I use a strength-based approach in working with clients, meaning I start where you are in identifying your needs and wants out of therapy. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) to help you identify and reshape helpful and unhelpful thoughts that impact your behaviors and emotions, and to strengthen your skills to manage life stressors. I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and meditation depending on your needs. You and I will work together to identify the challenges you want to address and work on strategies to help you make the changes you want, and hopefully share some laughter along the way. My focus If you are struggling with anxious thoughts, self-doubt, sadness, isolation, interpersonal challenges, anxiety, or are facing a life transition. If you are overcoming trauma, want to build coping skills, or explore your personal goals, we can work together to create a plan that feels empowering and manageable. If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community struggling with issues around identity, coming out, or transitioning, acceptance, distress due to experiences of discrimination or prejudice, or simply would like a therapist who is part of your community, I am here for you.
