Hospice and end-of-life counseling are among the areas she focuses on, offering practical help for conversations and decisions that arise near the end of life. Catalina respects each person's values and helps people organize what matters most as circumstances change.

She practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. Catalina approaches work in a calm, steady way and encourages small steps that build resilience and clarity. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.

How Catalina Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what improves mood, sleep, or daily functioning. That approach is useful for depression, anxiety, addictions, and motivation challenges.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Catalina works with each person to decide which strategies to try first based on current needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Specific session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use sessions during transitional periods or while coordinating with medical or hospice planning. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tools to remote sessions so work continues even when schedules are tight.
