Her background includes helping people cope with first responder and veteran challenges as well as aging and geriatric concerns.
The approach in sessions combines practical exercises with compassionate conversation. Clients can expect clear options, collaborative planning, and regular check-ins on progress. Kathleen encourages gradual steps and aims to build confidence and motivation for lasting change.
How CBT Fits into Online Therapy
Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill based, which can work well in regular online meetings and follow-up practice between sessions.Her style focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. That means sessions include talking through current problems, trying cognitive reframes, and practicing new coping skills. These techniques are commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and trauma-related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT or another way of working fits their needs and goals. Together they set objectives, test what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
