About Catherine
Catherine "Caitie" Mahaney, LCSW, is licensed in New York and has 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue, and uses Client-Centered Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work.
Caitie uses a strengths-based stance and talks with people about practical steps they can try between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and she supports building clearer communication and everyday coping skills. Sessions are presented as collaborative conversations rather than lectures.
Her background includes work across a range of ages and needs. That experience informs how she approaches attachment questions, caregiver stress, and issues related to autism and intellectual disability. She also addresses workplace stress, seasonal affective disorder, and concerns common to young adults and women.
When parenting is the focus, she helps parents with problem-solving and managing the stress that comes with caregiving. For people facing compassion fatigue, she looks at ways to reduce overwhelm and restore energy through concrete strategies.
Caitie emphasizes straightforward planning. She and a client set goals, track small changes, and adjust methods as needed. This approach aims to make therapy feel like a sequence of manageable steps instead of an open-ended task.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead, pays attention to what matters most, and helps people clarify goals. This approach is useful for emotional concerns like grief, low mood, or relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short experiments and skill practice. It helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and build different habits that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is practical for stress, panic, and everyday mood problems. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaboration means plans can change as needs evolve. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is tight. It can also let people keep therapy during transitions like moving jobs or managing caregiving demands.03
