Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to enter your life and help you during this time! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama (LICSW) and Georgia (LCSW). My 10+ years of experience in crisis intervention, hospice care, and mental health have given me an extraordinary appreciation for life. Sometimes we struggle with BIG things, like suicidal thoughts, while other times we are just trying to "get through the day". Regardless of where you are I would love the opportunity to speak to you. I specialize in grief and know that loss, despite it being a part of our lives, can be life-changing. Other areas I work with are depression, anxiety, aging, end of life, and caregiver burnout. I am a Christian, and I respect how important our faith is to our well-being. My approach to therapy involves a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and many others.

My name is Catherine Job and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Alabama. I have a Master’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Business Administration. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, and family conflict. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, clients with AIDS/HIV, Veterans and First responders. My approach to therapy is client centered which means that I believe therapy is a collaboration between the client and the therapist. I ask clients to identify what their goals are for therapy. I use cognitive behavioral approaches in sessions to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. Once a client understands these, they can move towards making changes and living an emotionally healthier and happier life. My clients have described me as very approachable, nonjudgmental and empathetic. I am available to my clients Monday through Friday for either 30- minute or 45-minute video sessions. I will send you the consent forms after you sign up for a session and these can be completed and returned through the portal. I ask my clients to take what they learn in sessions and practice it outside of sessions. My contact with my clients outside of session is primarily for scheduling and the sending of handouts and worksheets. I will respond to client emails within a 24-hour time frame during the week and on Monday for messages left on weekends. I believe in helping my client establish a good work/life balance and practice this myself by using weekends to “re-energize” so I can give 100% to my clients during sessions. In the event of a mental health emergency or crisis situation, clients should call 911 or go to their nearest emergency room. You have taken a courageous first step for your mental health by seeking therapy services and I look forward to working with you.

I am a licensed psychologist in Alabama with 6 years of professional work experience and training in psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and emotion-focused (EFT) therapies. I understand that there is tremendous pressure from society, family members, and friends to be or act in a certain way. We can flesh out these other voices so that you will be able to find your voice. In doing so we can explore certain roles that pan out in your life (family roles, social roles, etc), as well as using our interactions as a way to understand how interaction with others plays out in your life.​ I have experience in helping clients with lgbtq+ related issues, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
