About Kathleen
Kathleen Zayas is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and the daily strain of parenting and family life. Kathleen aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear tools that people can use between sessions. That can mean working on communication, setting boundaries, or managing intense emotions.
Background and approach
Kathleen uses methods that help clients notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In sessions she builds a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can say what they really think and feel. She pays attention to patterns that cause conflict or isolation and helps clients try new ways of relating.
Work often includes small experiments to test changes in real life. Her background includes long experience with relationship concerns, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with control issues, forgiveness, loneliness, and challenges related to attention differences.
Kathleen draws on several therapy styles to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kathleen guides each person toward practical steps that can reduce daily stress and make relationships clearer and more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and helping them take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety and day-to-day stress by teaching coping strategies and problem-solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be helpful when relationships or intense moods cause repeated conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the client's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for more interactive work and reading body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or brief skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between in-person commitments.
