Cathe blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create straightforward plans.

That often means identifying one small change, testing it, and adjusting based on what works. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with practical strategies you can use at home. She offers therapy to English-speaking clients and accepts international clients.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Fees vary by location and therapy subscription terms, which can be canceled at any time.

How Cathe's Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a persons own reasons to change and boosting motivation. It is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps toward clear goals and emphasizes what already works in a family or routine.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as needed. Sessions are collaborative, and methods may be combined to match your situation and what feels most helpful to you.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and caregivers. Video calls let you speak face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule and to keep working on goals between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
