Catherine Mishoe , LPC

Catherine Mishoe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. The LPC credential indicates a professional license to provide counseling services in the state. Over her career she has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger and impulse control, grief, trauma, and a range of life changes.

She works with a wide variety of issues including intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, ADHD, and chronic pain or illness. Catherine also addresses attachment and abandonment themes, communication and control difficulties, blended family dynamics, and eating and body image struggles. Her practice includes work with those navigating alternative sexual lifestyles and kink, and she approaches these topics without judgment.

As a kink-affirming therapist, Catherine focuses on building trust and rapport so clients can explore both kink-related and non-kink-related concerns without needing to explain terminology or worry about stigma. Her style is caring and interactive, guided by sensitivity, compassion, and respect. She draws on cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques alongside other therapeutic tools to tailor work to each person’s goals.

Catherine aims to empower clients who are ready to take steps toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships. She welcomes individuals and families seeking thoughtful, goal-oriented support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Catherine integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive stance that helps clients feel heard and supported while they identify personal goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation for issues like trauma, grief, and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine collaborates with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to access care from home or work, allow for varied modes of communication depending on comfort level, and support continuity of therapy even when life gets busy or circumstances change.
