How Cathrine blends therapy approaches online

Online work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people respond more calmly to stress and strong emotions.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and stay motivated. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which methods fit best based on symptoms, goals, and personal preference.

Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy lives, reducing travel time, and keeping appointments during life changes. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on making sessions practical: shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, focused skill practice for immediate problems, and regular progress reviews so goals stay relevant.
