About Mary-Catherine
Mary-Catherine Nimphius is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Oregon who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a broad range of life changes by blending evidence-informed methods with attentive, person-centered care. Her LPC credential is used to support practical therapeutic work and collaborative goal-setting.
Mary-Catherine emphasizes helping clients increase self-understanding, strengthen resilience, and develop concrete coping strategies tailored to their situations. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to address patterns of thought, emotional regulation, and interpersonal connection.
Her practice also addresses topics such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, gender dysphoria, and career or life-purpose questions. Sessions aim to be validating and pragmatic, encouraging exploration of underlying emotional patterns while building skills for day-to-day challenges.
Mary-Catherine approaches each person with empathy, respect, and a commitment to working collaboratively toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Mary-Catherine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values and building psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used to strengthen emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness for those who need concrete coping tools.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic collaboration. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so the plan reflects the client's needs and progress.
Online therapy in this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These formats allow sessions to be scheduled around work or caregiving responsibilities, make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, and provide multiple options for communicating when different modes better suit a client's comfort and situation.
