Background and approach

Kathleen adapts plans as needs change so work stays relevant and achievable. She has worked across a range of life challenges including trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and workplace issues. She also helps with body image, self-esteem, social anxiety, anger, and difficult life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People who prefer short check-ins, scheduled video talks, or flexible messaging often find this format fits their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire links people with the right therapist and scheduling follows available times.
Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online
Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-directed approach that focuses on what a person wants to change and on practical steps to get there. It looks for past successes and current strengths and builds simple, measurable actions to move forward. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions.In sessions, the therapist will work collaboratively to find the right approach. Together they will identify goals, test small changes, and adjust plans as progress is made. If a method does not fit, other options can be tried until a good match is found.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
