Catherine Barbour , LCSW

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - practicing in Florida. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Emory University (1999) and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida (2008).

Her clinical background spans multiple settings, including an outdoor therapeutic program working with teens, in-home counseling for children and families, and medical social work within a hospital system. Over the course of her career she has provided services to adolescents, parents, older adults, and whole family units, addressing a wide range of concerns.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and the mental health effects of chronic illness and disability. She also works with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and end-of-life or hospice-related needs.

Catherine draws from an eclectic, strengths-based approach and integrates client-centered techniques with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, existential perspectives, and trauma-focused interventions. She treats each person as an individual and frames therapy as an opportunity both to address present challenges and to pursue personal goals and meaningful change.
