She is a licensed clinical social worker with 31 years of experience and offers a steady, respectful presence for people facing hard moments.

She also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her work aims to help people reconnect with purpose and self-love.
How Kathleen works
In sessions she tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. Kathleen listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps clients try different ways of responding. She combines practical skills with attention to internal thoughts and parts of the self.
Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Internal Family Systems to give both clear strategies and deeper self-understanding. That blend helps people change unhelpful thinking and also attend to the inner experiences that drive behavior. Kathleen seeks to create an atmosphere of respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She supports steps toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more satisfying daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it easier to begin that work.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, improving mood, and handling everyday stressors. Internal Family Systems, or IFS, invites people to notice different parts of themselves and to cultivate a compassionate internal leader. That approach can help with shame, guilt, and stuck emotional patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She often blends short-term skill building with deeper internal work so the plan can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer sessions and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when you prefer writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still getting consistent support.
