Cathleen D. Yann

Cathleen (Cathy) Yann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a private practice, Seeking Solutions Counseling, in Zephyrhills, Florida. She offers telehealth sessions throughout the state of Florida as well as serves clients in the East Pasco County area with in-person appointments if preferred. Cathy’s clients are both women and men who range in age from 16 years old to older adult age and have a wide range of mental health concerns. Cathy is especially passionate about working with young adults who are in times of life transition and can assist with issues of motivation, anxiety, panic, depression, self-learning, and relationship conflict. For those clients whom it is appropriate, Cathy welcomes integrating counseling interventions with a Christian-based lens, but counsels a diverse population and clients of all faiths from a place of respect.

Cathy uses an integrated, strength-based therapeutic approach to assist her clients in developing self-awareness, heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, work through fears, improve relationships, and she works toward collaboratively setting goals to increase personal fulfillment. Therapeutic interventions she often draws from are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. Working with individuals who have experienced trauma led her to becoming trained and certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Utilizing ART can alleviate the emotional pain associated not only with trauma but other mental health issues as well in a relatively short amount of time.

While Cathy’s undergraduate degree was obtained in Business Administration from Malone University, Ohio, her life’s journey led her to obtaining her Master of Clinical Social Work Degree at Saint Leo University, Florida in 2016. She has worked in areas of mental health crisis, College/University Campuses, domestic and sexual assault services, and private practice.
