How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try specific behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice the present moment with less judgment. It can reduce reactivity to upsetting thoughts and support better sleep and emotional regulation.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Cathrine will work with each person to decide which methods suit their situation and goals. She often mixes short-term, solution-focused steps with mindful practices and cognitive techniques based on what the client wants to achieve.
