About Kathleen
Kathleen Hauburger is a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut who uses a warm, practical approach to help people facing stress and anxiety. She brings seven years of experience to conversations about addiction, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. Kathleen aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
In sessions she focuses on listening first and then working with each person to identify clear, manageable steps. She uses methods that draw on attachment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to build skills for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
That can mean learning ways to handle panic or obsessive thoughts, practicing calmer reactions to stress, or developing stronger communication skills. She also supports people dealing with grief, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, or the burdens that come with caregiving. When addiction or substance use is part of the picture, she helps clients set goals and find strategies that fit their situation.
Kathleen pays attention to family dynamics and parenting stress and helps clients sort out communication and control issues. Her style is client-centered - she aims to hear what matters to the person in front of her and adjust the work to those goals. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past hurts are getting in the way of daily life.
Across topics the emphasis is on practical tools people can use between sessions. Kathleen holds a CT LCSW and speaks English. She works with people who want a down-to-earth, skills-based approach to managing anxiety, stress, and life changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand and change repeating relationship dynamics and improve emotional connection with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for panic, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and everyday stress.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kathleen will work collaboratively to match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences. Together you can try different strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan to focus on the skills that make daily life easier.
Online therapy gives flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let you keep face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing new skills, or getting support between sessions. These options help people maintain consistency and make therapy accessible across different routines and schedules.
