Katheryn Cloud , LCSW

Katheryn "KC" Cloud is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut. As an LCSW she has clinical training in social work and therapeutic practice and has applied that expertise for many years in hospice and palliative care settings. She also holds certifications in Advanced Palliative and Hospice Care, which guide her work with patients and families facing serious illness and end-of-life concerns.

Katheryn has extensive experience helping people navigate grief and loss in its many forms - from the death of a spouse or child to job loss, the passing of a pet, or life changes that come with aging. Her background makes her comfortable supporting clients through complex mourning, adjustment, and caregiver stress. She approaches change and acceptance as processes that unfold at a person’s own pace and offers steady, compassionate support for those first steps toward a more satisfying life.

Please note that Katheryn does not accept live text messaging therapy clients. She is available for sessions by video call and by telephone and is glad to work with people who prefer those formats.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katheryn uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate space where the client's perspective and goals shape each session. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration and is helpful for people working through grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katheryn works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for those balancing caregiving, work, or health limitations. Sessions by video call or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to check in or continue progress between scheduled meetings. These options allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and tailor the format to what works best for each individual.
