Background and approach
Kathleen listens first, then helps pick simple strategies to try between sessions. Her approach blends Client-Centered methods, cognitive-behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her tailor sessions to how a person prefers to work and what they need right now.
Sessions can include talking things through, trying new ways to think about problems, and learning short mindfulness exercises.

She helps clients sort priorities, manage stress, and rebuild confidence through steady, practical steps. Her style is collaborative and respectful. Kathleen aims to empower clients so they can make choices that suit their lives.
She encourages small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters and decide on next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort through feelings and make choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. Sessions often include simple exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or lift mood. CBT suits people who want concrete steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises are brief and can be used between sessions to manage stress and stay grounded.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kathleen will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful given their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and shorter exchanges that can fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while adapting to work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
