About Catherine
Catherine Seger, LCPC, is licensed in Illinois and has 18 years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and related life changes using approaches she names as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Catherine frames the work around the client's own experience. She treats each person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon or vague promises.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in community settings and individual therapy. Over nearly two decades she has supported people through coping with illness or chronic pain, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and career-related strain.
Catherine uses ACT to help clients notice what matters to them and take value-driven actions. She uses CBT for addressing anxious and depressive thinking patterns. Her client-centered stance means she listens first and adjusts techniques to what the person reports as helpful.
People meet with her to address anger, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, social anxiety and phobia, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. She also works with family-related stress and relationship challenges by helping individuals talk through their roles and choices.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Catherine notes that the initial sign-up step can feel difficult and describes that first move as an important beginning.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Catherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. ACT often focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions consistent with personal goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression. CBT typically involves practical strategies and short exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They then decide together which methods to emphasize and adjust over time as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins on a workday. They can also make it easier to try short skill-building exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals commonly adapt ACT and CBT techniques for remote work, and Catherine frames sessions around what the client reports as useful.
