About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of clinical experience based in Connecticut. She focuses on common concerns like stress and anxiety as well as depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and straightforward and she aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable.
Kathleen draws on practical methods that are easy to use day to day. Sessions tend to be respectful and nonjudgmental, with a touch of humor when appropriate.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people set small, concrete goals they can act on between sessions. Her background includes work in outpatient substance abuse programs, elderly psychiatric support services, and psychiatric crisis intervention in emergency settings. That variety shapes a flexible style that adapts to what a person needs in the moment.
Kathleen also has independent practice experience that informs how she structures ongoing care. In the room she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She pairs that with Client-Centered techniques to keep the work grounded in each person's priorities.
Solution-Focused methods help move sessions toward quick, practical steps when people want faster change. People who come to her for help may be coping with relationship strain, ADHD, career stress, anger, or the effects of past abuse. Kathleen aims to break problems into manageable pieces and help clients rebuild confidence and direction.

Client-Centered Therapy places your priorities at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what matters to you, and helps shape goals around your values. This approach helps when you need someone to understand your experience and help you make choices that fit your life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going. CBT is useful for worry, panic, low mood, and many everyday stressors.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what you want to change now. Sessions identify small, practical steps that move you toward your goals and build momentum. This is helpful when you want focused, action-oriented work with measurable progress.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to decide which approaches fit your needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as you go. You remain part of choosing the pace and focus of the work.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and ongoing messaging helps with between-session thoughts and updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
