About Catherine
Catherine Lorino is a licensed clinical social worker who uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationships and emotional patterns. She draws on three decades of practice to guide straightforward, practical work. Catherine writes and listens in ways that help clients name feelings and try new ways of responding.
She blends Attachment-Based Therapy with acceptance and cognitive tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Sessions focus on clear goals such as better communication, managing strong emotions, or coping with life transitions.
Background and approach
Catherine also works with issues like grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and sleep or eating struggles. Her background includes community mental health, special education, and service in the United States Army. That variety informs how she assesses needs and tailors plans.
She has experience creating data-based programs for students with disabilities and consulting with school teams. Catherine teaches and trains others on crisis prevention and youth mental health. She has served as a guest speaker at universities and community training events.
Those roles shape how she explains skills and practices in clear, usable steps. Outside of practice she is focused on family life and veterans' causes. She is a mother and understands the pressures parents face during milestones and busy seasons.
Her style is collaborative, calm, and goal-oriented, aiming to help people make concrete changes that fit their daily lives.

Online support
Attachment and evidence-based approaches online
Catherine often combines Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people find different ways to connect and regulate emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful thinking and behavior patterns. Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss symptoms, life goals, and everyday routines to determine which methods fit best. Clients are invited to try different tools and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can fit a short break at work or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, mood tracking, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep a steady routine and apply new skills in real life.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
