Getting to know Catherine Goldsworthy

Hi there, I'm Catherine! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University. My approach Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — I help clients develop psychological flexibility by teaching them to accept uncomfortable thoughts and emotions rather than avoiding or fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — I assist clients in identifying and challenging negative or unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to their emotional distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — I help clients develop skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. My focus For the past four years, I have worked in eating disorder treatment, from residential to intensive outpatient (IOP) care. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, helping them navigate eating disorders while addressing co-morbidities such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and mood disorders. My communication style I believe my greatest strengths are building strong, trusting relationships with clients and tailoring approaches to meet their unique needs. I am a warm, calming presence, showing empathy while listening, which helps me understand clients’ underlying concerns and challenges. I offer a variety of evidence-based tools and strategies to find what works best for each individual. Above all, I’m deeply committed to helping clients feel empowered and supported as they progress toward their goals. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to therapy because I have always wanted to create a safe, non-judgmental space for people who might not have one. Many face difficult emotions, struggles, or trauma, and I want to be the person who listens, understands, and offers support.
