Approaches that fit life online
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body. It can help people who want tools to interrupt angry or anxious moments and to build steadier habits of attention.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that keep problems stuck. Cathrine also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change or feeling stuck in old habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathrine works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily routines. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and invites feedback about what is or isn't working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text sessions work well for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels most useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
