She is especially drawn to supporting women who seek empowerment - those working to rebuild self-esteem, recover from abusive relationships or navigate major life changes. Kathleen also has a special interest in the process of aging and the transitions that accompany different life stages. Her practice takes a strengths-based, client-centered stance that places an authentic therapeutic relationship at the center of healing.

Kathleen incorporates mindfulness, trauma-informed talk therapy, somatic or body-based approaches and expressive arts therapies to help clients access feelings, process difficult experiences and build emotional resilience. She offers psychoeducation when helpful to support self-regulation and self-care, and she emphasizes practical tools alongside insight and validation. Kathleen holds LCPC and LPC credentials, which indicate licensure as a professional counselor, and she welcomes the opportunity to accompany people as they take steps toward healing and greater self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed actions toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships - this approach can support work on attachment issues, relationship struggles and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect and an authentic therapeutic relationship - it creates a supportive environment for exploring self-esteem, identity and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses and inviting client input at every step.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support across different formats, helping clients maintain momentum and access care from wherever they are.
