She also supports those navigating relationship difficulties, communication challenges, divorce and separation, and career or midlife transitions.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Florida, with many years helping people who want focused, practical work rather than open-ended therapy. Kathleen looks for concrete steps clients can try between sessions and checks progress regularly. She speaks English and practices as a Florida LCSW.

Solution-Focused Work Online and Practical Support
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying what the client wants to achieve and finding small, concrete steps to get there. It focuses on strengths and on actions that produce change quickly, which can help with anxiety, stress, parenting pressures, and life transitions.In session the therapist and client set clear goals and test small experiments between meetings. Progress is checked and plans are adjusted when something isn’t working. This keeps work focused and time-limited for people who want practical results rather than lengthy exploration.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss how solution-focused work might fit, and adapt plans to your goals and preferences. Together you decide which methods to try and how to measure progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief touches when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
