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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

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.
