How Cathe’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Cathe uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide her sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change, which is useful for parenting goals, lifestyle shifts, or managing chronic conditions.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear, short-term goals and try practical steps that fit daily life. That approach is about finding what already works and doing more of it, making progress feel achievable and concrete. Choosing the right approach is a team effort; Cathe will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy begins.
The original biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full meeting isn't needed. It can also make sessions simpler to attend during work breaks or on days when returning home would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to remote formats while keeping the work practical and goal oriented.
