About Kathleen
Kathleen Hove is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, trauma, and stress. She brings ten years of mental health experience and a straightforward, compassionate presence to sessions. Kathleen aims to make therapy feel simple and doable for worried parents and busy individuals.
She favors approaches that help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. In session she listens without judgment and works together with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Her style mixes practical skills with emotional understanding so people can cope better day to day. Kathleen has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, sleep problems, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also has focused experience with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and abuse-related struggles.
That variety helps her match methods to what a person most needs in the moment. Her sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person as the expert on their life.
People can expect clear explanations, gentle challenge, and a sense of humor when it fits. Kathleen aims to build safety and trust so clients can try new ways of coping and move toward the life they want.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories and related reactions.Kathleen treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. If something does not feel like a good fit, she will adapt the plan so it better matches what the person wants to accomplish.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work and EMDR when appropriate. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
