What Catholic Therapy Really Looks Like | Adam Cross & Danielle Enriquez on Healing, Faith, and the Human Journey


Listen Later

Many Catholics hesitate to begin therapy because it can feel clinical, impersonal, or disconnected from faith. In this episode, Catholic therapist Adam Cross is joined by Danielle Enriquez, LMFT #152199, for a candid conversation about what Catholic therapy really looks like in practice. Together, they explore how clinical tools and Catholic spirituality unite to bring authentic healing rooted in Christ.

Topics covered:

• Why Catholic integration in therapy matters and how it protects faith and conscience

• Danielle’s personal story of anxiety, healing, and her call to become a therapist
• What to expect in your first sessions and why healing can feel harder before it feels better
• How tools like CBT, Internal Family Systems, and the Empty Chair can deepen healing
• Anxiety, scrupulosity, and perfectionism—finding freedom through grace
• “Progress, not perfection,” how faith reframes growth and recovery
• Why identity as God’s beloved is the foundation of lasting peace

Tune in for a hopeful, faith-filled conversation on what it means to encounter Christ in therapy—where psychology meets prayer, and wounded hearts discover they are seen, loved, and capable.
