About Cathi Brisart

Cathi Brisart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people navigating the many changes that can shape mood, relationships, and day-to-day life. She recognizes that while each person’s story is unique, many struggles are rooted in shared human needs, and when those needs feel out of reach, concerns like anxiety or depression can intensify and create a sense of imbalance. Her work is grounded in helping clients feel less alone as they move through difficult seasons and begin building steadier coping and emotional support.

In practice since 2013, Cathi provides outpatient therapy for concerns such as grief and loss, trauma, adjustment issues, self-esteem, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, and child and family issues, along with other concerns a client may want to address. She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Educated in Connecticut, Cathi completed her therapeutic training at Southern Connecticut State University and graduated with honors, earning Cum Laude for her undergraduate degree and Magna Cum Laude for her graduate degree. She is a member of Beta Rho, the National Honor Society for Social Work, and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can talk openly, clarify what matters most, and move at a pace that feels manageable. It can be especially helpful when someone is coping with life changes, grief, stress, or feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and everyday stressors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It often supports people who want more steadiness and healthier ways to cope when emotions feel hard to regulate.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Cathi Brisart works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the approach as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in a format that feels comfortable.
