Getting to know Cathy McMullen

Hi there, I'm Cathy! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Utah, with a Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I work with youth and adults facing a variety of struggles that keep them stuck in old thought and behavior patterns. I like to help clients get unstuck from the old stories they tell themselves and move toward goals and values that are important to them. My approach My approach to therapy is client-centered and solution-focused. The therapeutic tools I use depend on what the client brings to the session. I lean heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide my practice. CBT helps clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT offers specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal relationships. ACT supports accepting challenges while committing to a value-driven lifestyle. My focus I typically work well with adolescents and adults who struggle with life stress, transitions, and relationship issues that may present as anxiety and/or depression. My communication style My communication is supportive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. Clients generally find that I am easy to open up to. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist after a difficult divorce, raising a blended family, and wondering what life would be like after children. I have worked in two domestic violence shelters and two community health clinics, and I continue to do crisis work in the community. I deeply value the work I do and the clients I serve. My goals for you Goal setting in therapy is important to ensure progress. I take a collaborative approach because I believe you are the captain of your ship and the author of your novel. You know best how to set the direction of your ship and write the next chapter of your story.
