About Kathryn
Dr. Kathryn (Kitty) Klee is an Illinois-licensed counselor with 33 years of clinical experience. She frames therapy around each person’s story and strengths, offering steady support as people take steps toward change. Dr. Klee aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain about therapy.
She focuses on practical issues that come up in everyday life. That includes family and parenting concerns, relationship strain, sleep problems, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing depression, attention challenges such as ADHD, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
Dr. Klee uses a few well-known approaches to guide sessions and meet different needs. She draws on client-centered ideas to center the person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify patterns that get in the way, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills.
Her style is supportive and straightforward. She listens for strengths and helps people try small, doable changes. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, problem-solving, and building confidence over time.
Dr. Klee also pays attention to less common concerns that can affect daily life, such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family challenges, and questions around adoption and foster care. She encourages people to name what matters and to work toward practical changes at a sustainable pace.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Klee often uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy skills in session. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps set goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thought and behavior patterns and teach practical steps to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy skills build concrete tools for managing emotion, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest paths to try. They can adjust the work over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone meet without needing a long commute. It also makes it possible to keep a regular schedule when life is unpredictable. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help clients practice new skills, problem-solve, and track progress over weeks and months.
