About Kathleen
Kathleen approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring care to the needs and goals of the individual. She combines evidence-based techniques with a collaborative, client-centered stance, helping clients build practical skills while exploring the values and choices that guide their lives. Kathleen recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and seeks to honor that step by offering steady, nonjudgmental support.
Her aim is to help clients identify what is holding them back and to work together toward meaningful, manageable change. With two decades of experience, Kathleen brings both clinical skill and a calm, empathic presence to her work with adults facing a wide range of emotional and life-adjustment concerns.
Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Kathleen uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, low motivation, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Kathleen emphasizes a collaborative process in which the therapist and client explore which approaches fit best for the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing to each client, adjusting the plan over time to find the most useful combination of strategies.
Online therapy offers flexibility by making sessions available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing support between appointments. Kathleen and other licensed professionals can use these modalities to provide consistent, practical help across a range of concerns while working with clients to shape an approach that meets their life circumstances.
