About Kathleen

Kathleen Neiswonger is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people regain direction when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from what matters to them. With four years of clinical experience, she draws on a background that includes teaching middle and high school English, working in community mental health and private practice, and serving as a school counselor. This mix of roles informs a pragmatic and empathetic approach aimed at restoring motivation, clarity, and hope.

Kathleen recognizes how guilt, shame, emptiness, persistent negative emotions, or symptoms of mental illness can make everyday life feel like a struggle. She frames therapy as a place to explore those experiences and to rekindle the inner drive that fuels goals, dreams, and meaningful relationships. As a Christian counselor, she is open to addressing spiritual concerns when a client wishes to include that dimension; whether or not spirituality is part of counseling is decided collaboratively with each person.

Her practice focuses on helping clients move past barriers and find ways to participate more fully in a life that feels exciting and fulfilling. Kathleen partners with individuals to identify practical steps forward and to build resilience for the challenges they face.

Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports clients in exploring their values, goals, and personal strengths. This approach helps people who feel stuck, empty, or uncertain about life direction to rediscover motivation and self-trust.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can be particularly useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools to reframe thinking and build healthier routines.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. It helps clients reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and develop calmer responses to triggers related to trauma, grief, or daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage treatment from home. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to engage with licensed professionals in ways that suit their lives.
