Getting to know Catherine Jakobsze
Catherine Jakobsze is an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with almost a decade of clinical experience across multiple settings, and she also works with clients on gambling and sports betting addiction. Most of her professional experience involves working with adolescents, young adults, and adults facing substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence (including ASD, ADHD, and OCD), personality disorders, chronic illness, and sexual dysfunction, as well as clients who have previously struggled to connect with therapists, and LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC populations. As a board-certified counselor, she continuously strives to remain culturally sensitive in working with populations of different backgrounds. Catherine's clinical approach is collaborative, aiming to meet individuals where they are emotionally and allowing clients to guide their treatment, grounded in her belief that no one knows themselves better than the client. While her therapeutic approach is client-centered, she draws from a diverse, evidence-based toolkit to address individual needs, including Existential Therapy, Liberation Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Polyvagal Theory, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and more.
