Kenneth Catalanotte , LCSW

Kenneth Catalanotte is a retired Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of counseling experience. Over the last ten years of his career he worked for the Veteran's Administration, providing care to veterans coping with post-traumatic stress related to severe trauma. He has also supported women who have histories of trauma as they work to regain a sense of control and move forward in their lives.

In addition to trauma work, Kenneth has helped individuals facing less acute concerns who need support navigating daily life stressors and difficult transitions. He approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, working alongside clients to identify practical steps and coping strategies. Kenneth strives to help people solve problems without treating them like a passive "patient" who is simply told what to do, instead emphasizing respect, shared decision-making, and empowerment.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, creating a supportive space where a therapist listens deeply and helps clients set their own goals - it is useful for people working through life transitions, loneliness, or self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, responsibility, and life purpose, which can be helpful for clients facing major life changes or feelings of isolation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Kenneth collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and therapists can adapt approaches over time as circumstances change. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals who use the chosen approaches to support progress.
