About Cathrine
Cathrine Kearns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship and family concerns. She also supports clients with LGBTQ issues, intimacy-related worries, eating or sleeping struggles, parenting challenges, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She uses direct, collaborative work in sessions. Cathrine describes the therapeutic relationship as a team effort where client goals guide the process. Conversations are practical and focused on manageable steps rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes master’s degrees in Counseling and Psychology and Social Work. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of problems, including PTSD, trauma and abuse, and complex grief. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals with each person.
Cathrine draws on several clinical approaches to help people make changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment coping skills and reduce reactivity.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. For trauma-related issues she includes trauma-focused methods aimed at stabilizing symptoms and improving daily functioning. The work is practical, stepwise, and geared toward everyday life adjustments.
People considering therapy with Cathrine are invited to start by describing the problems that matter most to them. She helps translate those concerns into clear goals and a plan that fits daily routines.
BHow sessions work
How Cathrine’s approaches translate to online work
Her practice draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses exercises and small experiments you can do between sessions to change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress as it comes up in daily life.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change. That approach is conversational and goal-oriented, so it works well when clients want help deciding next steps or making a plan they can stick to. Cathrine treats approach selection as a team decision and will work with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many clients find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work or family schedules, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when days are busy. Video sessions let a therapist and client use worksheets, screen-sharing, or guided exercises, while audio-only calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy fit everyday life rather than on the technology itself.
