Catherine Eccles

Hello! I’m Catherine (she/her), and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College, and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University. I have over 16 years of direct clinical experience and have worked in various settings, including a secure residential program for adolescent girls, group homes for adults with major mental illness, and outreach for clients living independently in the community. I absolutely love providing services remotely, through BetterHelp. My background is in Psychiatric Rehabilitation, which means I’ll help you build skills and access resources to help you work through your current circumstances. It’s important to note that you’ll take the lead in our work – I’m here for support and guidance, but you’re in the driver’s seat. You decide what we work on, and how we do it. I can give you concrete tools to help you start working towards specific goals today. At the same time, if you’d rather just talk, we can do that too. Clients have said that they appreciate my willingness to help, my abilities in providing help, and doing so with a healthy sense of humor. In summary, I will strive to help you by providing empathy, reminding you of your strengths, and helping you acquire skills and access resources to handle life’s curve balls. Let’s get started!
