She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career transitions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and life changes. Kathleen brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.
She earned her master's degree and has worked in outpatient substance abuse treatment, elderly psychiatric support services, emergency room psychiatric crisis intervention, and independent practice.
How Kathleen works
That variety shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Her style is warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental. She offers encouragement and a bit of humor when it fits.
Sessions focus on listening first, then choosing simple steps that match each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Solution-Focused work aims for clear, short-term goals to gain momentum and relief. Kathleen tailors methods as work proceeds rather than forcing a single model. She works with adults on many life concerns and practical struggles.
People who want steady, experienced support for managing emotions, addictions, or big life changes may find her approach helpful.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes the work around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It gives short, practical exercises to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, achievable goals and quick steps toward change. It is useful when people want concrete progress on a specific problem or decision.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to see which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. This can mean using one approach at first and adding others as needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility across different formats. Video calls let people talk face-to-face and use visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day or to send quick updates between sessions. These options can help people access steady support without rearranging major parts of their schedule.
