Cathryn Charette , LMFT

Cathryn Charette practices from a humanistic perspective that centers on each person's strengths and capacities to address the patterns and stresses that limit daily life. She guides people toward greater self-understanding and self-actualization, helping them build confidence, clarify motivations, and develop a personal philosophy to support decision making and problem solving.

Her approach emphasizes self-awareness and mindfulness so individuals can respond more intentionally as situations arise while staying aligned with their values. She works with common challenges that stem from insecure or absent early caregiving - such as unclear boundaries or difficulty forming trusting attachments - and helps people learn and practice healthier relational skills.

Charette uses the concept of earned security to describe the process of healing from childhood, adult, or relationship trauma and strengthening a core sense of self. Earned security involves remediation of traumatic experiences, improvement in self-esteem, and development of a more comfortable attachment style that supports post-traumatic growth.

She draws on both personal experience in self-development and professional, research-informed methods to offer a nonjudgmental, wellness-oriented framework. She welcomes people of varied ages and backgrounds and focuses on both shared human concerns and each person’s unique history, needs, and goals. Her manner is inclusive, patient, and compassionate, with a steady commitment to helping others build resilience and meaningful relationships.

Could remote therapy fit your needs?

Many people wonder whether connecting with a therapist remotely can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person work.

One clear advantage is flexibility. People can choose the format that best suits their life and comfort level, whether that is video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules or when travel or mobility are factors.

Licensed professionals deliver online services, and clients have the option to request a different therapist if they need a better fit. For many, remote sessions offer a practical, accessible way to pursue consistent therapeutic support without giving up the quality of care they expect from in-person settings.
