About

Catherine is a Licensed Professional Counselor with the Texas State Board. She holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of St. Thomas and a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Prairie View A&M University. 

 

Catherine views every client experience as an opportunity for learning that continually develops throughout a lifespan. Her focus is on the development of coping strategies to target problem solving and changing unhelpful patterns in cognition (thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes), behaviors, and emotional regulation. She integrates personal growth and self-compassion techniques, while considering cultural context and addresses concerns of multidimensional factors that impact development.

​

As your therapist, she can support development of tools you need to heal, create meaningful connections with others, and live your life to its fullest potential. Therapy will help develop self-awareness, authenticity, responsibility, and the understanding of interpersonal relationships.

Catherine Trinh, MS, LPC's Expert Contributions
  • Should I take medications for anxiety?

    Consult with a therapist first if you want a holistic route for intervention. Your therapist should be able to gauge if you need medication along with therapy or not. Then they will refer you to a psychiatrist for that if necessary. READ MORE

    Consult with a psychiatrist for medication treatment. Everyone responds differently to different kinds. READ MORE

  • What treatment is the quickest for anxiety?

    That depends on the patient and the patient intervention utilized. Is there therapy only? Is there medication management only? Is the patient using both medication and therapy? Does the patient need medication or can it be managed in therapy alone? READ MORE

  • How long is the treatment for depression?

    It depends on the patient and what interventions are utilized. I cannot put a universal quantitative value on it as people respond differently with different interventions. READ MORE

  • Should I go to my school's counseling center?

    Those campus resources are typically free or very affordable. I highly recommend so that you have a space to help organize your thoughts, develop a structure/routine, or unload your experience.

  • Do you have to be married for couples therapy?

    You don't have to be married to go to couple's therapy.

Prevention is key to alleviate crisis. READ MORE

  • Do couples who undergo behavior therapy stay together?
