More about Cathrine
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hi, my name is Cathrine. I am a licensed therapist in FL with over 20 years experience in the field. I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship/family issues, PTSD, and LGBTQ+. I hold a Masters degree in Counseling and Psychology and a Masters degree in Social Work.
My counseling style is a collaborative process, where the therapist and client/family work together as a team to meet goals. I consider myself to be open-minded and realize that every person, regardless of background, is unique in his/her own way. I try to convey a "worry-free" zone. I want you to feel safe telling me your concerns without the fear of being judged.
It takes a lot of courage to seek counseling, and I realize that there is sometimes a stigma attached to receiving help. I take my profession very seriously and I hope that I can convey my commitment to this process.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Catherine takes time to listen and gives great insight.
Cathy is amazing! She’s helpful, attentive and always checks in on me. It’s a true pleasure to speak with her and she’s helped me overcome so many problems in such a short period of time. The best therapist I’ve ever had!
According to my experience, Cathrine is one of the best therapists. She is kind, smart, motivating, listening and understanding. She helped me alot during my sessions with her. She is always ready for help and very responsive.I would definitely recommend her!
I had never done therapy before, but Cathy has been great to work with. She makes you feel heard and understood and is very open to anything I have to say. You truly feel like you’re in a safe space to talk. She displays a lot of empathy and her advice has really helped me so far. I strongly recommend her.
The random messages I get through the week from Catherine actually means a lot! It reminds me of how strong I can be.
