About Catherine

Catherine Diosdado is a licensed clinical social worker who uses attachment-based ideas to guide therapy. She draws on 14 years of clinical practice in New Mexico and a longer background as a social worker to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. Catherine meets people where they are and believes clients bring strengths to the work.

She centers conversations on how relationships and early bonds shape feelings and reactions.

Background and approach

That focus helps when current problems connect back to trust, safety, or communication patterns. Catherine also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s perspective and goals. Catherine incorporates practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She blends mindfulness exercises to help calm the body and reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes but feel unsure where to start. Sessions are organized around clear, manageable steps.

Catherine helps people set concrete goals, try new skills between sessions, and check what works. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her work includes attention to relationship strain, family patterns, adoption and foster care concerns, first responder stress, and issues such as codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness.

Catherine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and schedules.

Online support

Attachment-informed care and online therapy options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect feeling safe, trusting others, and reacting in close relationships. It can help when anxiety, trauma responses, or patterning in relationships are part of the problem. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the pace you set; it helps people feel heard and more in control of goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets current thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to figure out which mix of methods fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care easier. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or movement is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options let people fit therapy into busy days, work around travel, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
