About Kathleen
Kathleen Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, evidence-informed therapy. She approaches sessions with straightforward care and respect for where each person is in their life. Kathleen draws on seven years of professional experience to help people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.
Her work often addresses stress and impulse control challenges, including drug and alcohol addiction and hoarding. She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, eating and food-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
How Kathleen works
Relationship struggles, communication problems, and family of origin issues are common topics she helps people talk through. Kathleen uses several clinical approaches to fit individual needs. She commonly applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and build meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for people to be heard and to lead the pace of change. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Kathleen works with people to set small, achievable steps and track progress over time. She aims for practical tools that can be used between sessions to manage cravings, reduce anxiety, or cope with grief. Her practice is based in Pennsylvania and sessions are offered in English.
People interested in beginning therapy are guided through a clear sign-up and scheduling process that matches goals to the right format.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges like addiction where motivation and direction can feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy creates a space where the person leads the conversation and feels listened to, which can help with grief, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to lean into ACT, CBT, client-centered listening, or a blend based on progress and comfort.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing support between sessions and flexible options for brief updates or coping reminders. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
