Background and approach
Her work has included independent practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that worsen symptoms. Kathleen also draws on client-centered ways of working that keep the person's goals central.
Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term, concrete steps people can try between sessions. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. She adapts choices to each person's situation and checks in about what is or isn't helping.
Kathleen has supported people with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and eating concerns. Her background includes individual and group work, and she has helped colleagues seeking supervision toward licensure. Kathleen practices from Missouri and offers services in English.
She encourages a gradual approach so people can build skills without feeling overwhelmed.
Approaches that work well online for anxiety and mood
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps turn worries into manageable actions, which can suit people needing a supportive, patient approach.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework between sessions to address anxiety, panic, and low mood with clear, measurable steps.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. It helps people identify resources and take specific steps toward their goals, which can produce visible progress in a few sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins and brief homework support between meetings, making therapy more flexible for varied schedules.
