About Cathrine
Cathrine Kearns is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She practices from Florida and speaks English. Cathrine aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so clients can talk about hard things without extra pressure.

Background and approach
Cathrine works with concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues related to LGBTQ identity. Cathrine’s style is collaborative. She and the person seeking help set goals together and try approachable steps that fit each person's life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness to reduce reactivity, and solution-focused ideas to find workable next steps. Her background includes master’s degrees in Counseling and Psychology and in Social Work, and she holds a Florida LCSW credential.
Over two decades she has supported people through complex issues like chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and attachment challenges, and recovery after loss. People who want flexible options can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.
How Cathrine’s Methods Fit with Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often involves setting small, practical tasks to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and breathing or grounding exercises that calm acute stress and help with sleep and emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathrine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try first. She treats this as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial cues and have full conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs short, written tools to refer back to. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain momentum between appointments.
