About Catherine Kolleth

Welcome and let me introduce myself! My name is Catherine Kolleth and I am dually licensed as a professional clinical counselor and a marriage and family therapist in Ohio. I have been in the profession for over 12 years, and in that time I have worked with a large variety of clients. I started working in a mental health residential treatment facility for adolescents, then worked in community health care, substance abuse residential treatment and private practice. Needless to say, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addictions and LGBTQ+ hurdles. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse heal and become healthier and embrace the happiness in their lives.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, without stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive, dialectial behavioral, systems, client centered and solution focused therapies, as well as any other therapeutic pieces that are appropriate to help you attain your goals. I will respect your unique and specific needs for treatment planning and goal creation, as you are the ultimate expert in your life.

Finding the right fit to help you navigate your life challenges is very important for success and I understand that. I work with my clients to help them identify changes they want to make, help them find ways to incorporate these changes into their lives and help them problem solve when necessary. Change can be daunting, although very rewarding in the long run. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

“I have been seeing Catherine off and on for some time with Better Help. She has helped me have a few major breakthroughs. She is kind, considerate, warm and open to listening to whatever I may need to get off of my chest, out of my mind, or process. I look forward to my time with her, because I know this time is sacred and excellent for my mental health and filling up my own cup. I recommend her so much, and often share with my online platforms the importance of therapy, and Better Help as a whole BECAUSE Catherine has moved me in such a way. Thank you so much for being yourself. May God bless you.”
