How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Many of Cathrine's methods move easily into remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses. It helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by breaking problems into clear steps and tasks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises are brief and can be practiced between sessions to reduce worry. Motivational Interviewing centers on clients' values and goals, using short conversations to strengthen commitment to change and problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those aims. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to whatever format is agreed on, helping clients build skills that apply in everyday situations.
