Cathrine Kearns, LCSW

Cathrine Kearns is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family challenges, and concerns related to identity and intimacy. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about hard things without feeling judged.

She practices in Florida and works with adults on a wide range of life issues, including sleep and eating struggles, parenting stress, career concerns, and coping with major life changes. Her background includes two master’s degrees, one in Counseling and Psychology and one in Social Work, and two decades of clinical practice.

In sessions she uses practical, goal-oriented methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and calm. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support steps forward and short-term goal work. Trauma-focused approaches are available when past events are central to the problem.

Cathrine describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works together with each person to set goals and try methods that fit their life. She aims to create a low-pressure space so people can speak openly about what’s worrying them.

She accepts clients in Florida and also works with international clients in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and use the therapist’s intake steps to begin the matching process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to feel better. It is often practical and works for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. It can help with worry, emotional overwhelm, and coping with chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. This means trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, allowing appointments during work breaks, reducing travel time, or enabling shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when life or location changes. The therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling, session length, and pace during the intake process.
