About Catherine
Catherine Kimrey is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 18 years of experience to her work in Minnesota. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem. Catherine aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they’re feeling and start making changes.
She uses Systemic Therapy to look at patterns that affect how people relate to others and how problems repeat across relationships.
Background and approach
Catherine also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person’s experience, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions tend to focus on identifying immediate concerns, testing small changes, and noticing what helps.
She often combines mindfulness practices to manage stress and Trauma-Focused Therapy tools when painful events interfere with daily life. Catherine has worked with people facing midlife transitions, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and loneliness. She also supports those coping with domestic violence, divorce and separation, family-of-origin wounds, and forgiveness or guilt struggles.
In sessions she helps with communication problems, codependency patterns, infidelity fallout, and finding life purpose. Catherine explains things in plain language and helps clients set goals they can actually try between meetings.

Online support
How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online
Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns keep problems going. Online sessions can map relationships and recurring interactions so clients notice what to change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and pacing; the therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts that lead to distress and testing new actions to change how someone feels.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new needs arise.
Online care offers flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work more deeply when that helps. Phone sessions use less internet bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break more easily. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or step-by-step problem solving possible between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and to use therapy in ways that match a person’s daily life.
