Cathrine Kearns, LCSW

Cathrine Kearns is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and other life changes. Cathrine aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly and work toward practical goals.

Her approach is collaborative. She treats therapy as a team effort and helps clients set clear, realistic steps to reach their goals. Sessions mix problem-solving with skills for handling stress and mood struggles, and she uses tools that fit each persons life.

Cathrine draws on several methods to guide her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused strategies to build on strengths. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events interfere with daily life.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns across twenty years in the field. That includes supporting people through caregiver stress, chronic illness, identity and intimacy issues, and challenges tied to aging and geriatric issues. Her practice also addresses parenting concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and career-related stress.

Cathrine is based in Florida and offers services in English. She welcomes a variety of life stories and works with people at different stages to find practical ways forward. To begin, she encourages prospective clients to consider what they most want to change and bring that to an initial conversation.

Common approaches adapted for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress by teaching clear exercises and experiments to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices. It helps reduce reactivity to stress, manage difficult emotions, and support coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain.

Motivational Interviewing builds motivation for change by exploring a persons own reasons and strengths. It is useful when someone feels stuck and wants help deciding on next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while working on stress, mood, relationship concerns, or age-related transitions.
