Catherine Seger

Catherine Seger is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around eating and anger.

Catherine approaches care with respect for the person's own story and strengths. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide practical steps. Sessions center on clear goals and everyday skills that can be tried between meetings.

Many people come for help during life changes like divorce, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or career shifts. Catherine works with concerns such as bipolar mood challenges, family conflict, and social anxiety. She also describes women’s issues among her focus areas and can address stressors that commonly affect women.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, helps people name what matters, and then supports small, workable changes. Catherine encourages clients to build on what already works in their lives.

She practices in Illinois and offers services in English. Starting therapy with Catherine begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the Start Therapy button on the site.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and shift them into more workable viewpoints. It focuses on practical exercises and behavior changes that often reduce anxiety and improve daily routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing emotions and values, and then taking small steps that align with what matters. It is useful for stress, worry, and coping with difficult feelings without getting stuck trying to control them.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports growth at the person’s pace, which can be helpful for building confidence and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to determine which methods and exercises fit their goals and day-to-day life. She uses feedback and small tests of change to adjust the plan together.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit best for routines and goals before scheduling.
