Cathrine Kearns, LCSW

Cathrine Kearns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

She trained in counseling, psychology, and social work and uses that blend to tailor each session. Cathrine describes therapy as a team effort - she and the person she sees set goals together and track small steps forward. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can use between meetings to feel more stable and in control.

Cathrine draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to address both current problems and patterns that repeat. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people wrestling with big changes or ambivalence.

Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns like relationship and family stress, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, chronic illness, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment, abandonment, and body image struggles.

Based in Florida, Cathrine works with adults and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds. She aims to make sessions feel manageable and relevant, so the work fits into everyday life and leads to real changes over time.

How Cathrine’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, actions, and feelings. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and improve daily focus. These skills help with anxiety, stress, and sleep problems.

Trauma-focused therapy helps people process distressing experiences in a paced way so those memories stop driving everyday reactions. It emphasizes safety, grounding, and building coping skills before tackling difficult material. Cathrine blends these approaches to match the issue at hand and the person’s pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit goals, comfort, and life demands. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
