Cathi is amazing. She takes a situation and talks me through what is going on within it, and makes excellent recommendations. She makes me feel like the tension I’ve been carrying has fallen off my shoulders.

You are not alone.
Life is about change and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. Our experiences are varied & individual, but we all share the same basic needs. If your ability to meet these basic needs has been compromised by other factors, such as depression and anxiety, an imbalance in mood may be created that is often as difficult to correct.
You are not alone. I am here ready to serve and assist you with your struggles.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cathi is relatable, smart and shoots straight. A wonderful guide through this entire process.
Cathi is amazing. She takes a situation and talks me through what is going on within it, and makes excellent recommendations. She makes me feel like the tension I’ve been carrying has fallen off my shoulders.
Cathi is always understanding and helps me to grow to become a better person.
Cathi has been an excellent listener. She understands me and even helps me to understand myself. It's obvious that she knows what she is talking about and she can explain it in words for me to help myself. I am exciting to go through this journey with her.
I would highly recommend Cathi to anyone seeking guidance. She has been an absolute saving grace to me for the past couple of months and I couldn’t ask for anyone more patient, kind and who cares about my genuine well being. She has been a wave of calm through all of my highs and lows and I truly wouldn’t have been able to sort it all out without her. She listens thoroughly, gives sound advice, and will give a gentle push in the right direction when needed.
Cathi is attentive and supportive. I appreciate her feedback and empathy
Cathi was very supportive during a difficult and scary time for me. I'm impressed with the way she was able to guide the conversation while I was a bit hysterical. I find the dialogue helpful over time and it helps me believe there's a chance for change.
10/10 service. She truly is changing my life and allowing me to have someone to think things through, but also not let you think unproductively. I went from stuck in a dead end job, to finding the confidence I needed to get back to my true self!
Very helpful and assisted with all of my concerns. Always prompt and timely as well. Would work with her going forward no question.
She’s amazing
Great connection. She listened to what I wanted to focus on. She has provided wonderful support and skills to address my concerns. Would definitely recommend Cathi Brisart to others.
