Approaches and Online Care with Cathrine Kearns

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by offering practical strategies and skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations. This approach can support emotional regulation, reduce worry, and help people cope with life transitions or ongoing stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced, supportive way. It is intended to help people reduce the long-term impact of trauma and build healthier coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cathrine works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
