Hi, my name is Kathleen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas, Arizona, Oregon and Florida telehealth. I graduated from University of Southern California with my MSW in children, family and military clinical social work. I have experience working with diverse populations using many counseling techniques to include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma therapy, Motivational therapy and Brief Intervention Solution-based focused therapy. My experience is with individuals that struggle from stress and anxiety from everyday life to severe or mild mental health symptoms and trauma/PTSD. I believe in providing the hope and support for change to empowerment individuals and couples using strengths based and recovery-based models. My experience is in teaching skills that you can use for better communication, expressing your wants and needs and meeting your full potential. I believe that life can throw us challenges that may require us to seek therapeutic help for better clarity and support in order to recover a life where we feel fulfilled and back in control of our lives. I am passionate about helping individuals in those difficult times to find the answers and gain their strength back. I look forward to working together with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

10/10 experience with Kathleen
Kathleen is professional and is very responsive to my needs.
With the small amount of time I have spent with Kathleen, I have been able to improve my anxiety further than what I thought I could. I am grateful for the help she has been providing. My relationship is saved.
This has been a great experience and I am glad I have Kathleen to help me through this period in my life.
She’s amazing. Her works seems like magic
Kathleen has been so important in the last year, helping me work on moving forward in life, identifying issues that have tripped me up as well as being accepting & kind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart & compassionate therapist.
Absolutely the best counselor I have ever had
I appreciate the support and the push to keep me going during this difficult time.
She's the best!!!
Kathleen does amazing work and I’m so glad that I get to talk to her!
She’s always trying to make me laugh and enjoy the little things
I loved speaking with Kathleen. I was surprised because I’ve been to a number of therapists and have not had great experiences....but she made me feel comfortable from the first call and had an overall great experience with her. Would recommend.
Kathleen is absolutely amazing at what she does! I feel like she really listens and understands my concerns and what I'm saying. I wouldn't want to have any other therapist!
She’s always so caring and I love to laugh with her.
My experience working with Kathleen has been so positive. It's incredible to look back on this past year and see how far she has help me come.
Kathleen is absolutely amazing! She's very kind and understanding, and I'm so happy I got matched up with her.
I love how I don't feel so judged about my life situations when I'm chatting with her. She's very quick on responding throughout and she's able to get me to see things in a way different perspective. A huge weight feels lifted from my shoulder after our sessions! I'm super grateful and blessed to have gotten her as my counselor.
Love her. Easy to talk to and knowledgeable.
Kathleen is very understanding & points out to the other side of things. She is caring, compassionate, and overall just awesome.
Kathleen has been my angel of light through the darkness. She helps me to see things in a way that makes sense when the world doesn't seem to. She's very present during our calls and I appreciate that attentiveness. I am thankful.
Kathleen has been my motivator and my guide in my journey to healing and regulating my emotions. She is kind, a great listener, and has given me a lot of insight about myself. I've been working with Kathleen since January and have made so much progress that it's incredible looking back at where I was. Even on days I feel like I have nothing to talk about, Kathleen always engages so well that she always keeps me talking. I always leave Kathleen's sessions with new insight about myself or with a great new skill to practice in order to further my progress. I highly recommend Kathleen, as she has been so wonderful to me throughout my time on Betterhelp and I couldn't imagine working with anyone but her.
Kathleen is very kind and supportive. I'm extremely grateful for her help. Thank you very much.
I think she’s great!

She is so intelligent and relates to your experience in such a helpful way. She has shown me so many new ways to look at and interact with my world around me.
Kathleen is so kind and helpful. I really appreciate her Insights. She helps me see the best in myself which in turn gives me hope and reassurance in the goals I am trying to attain. Kathleen has great suggestions and puts herself in my shoes to really understand. She is the best.
So far Kathleen is clear, well spoken and an excellent listener.
A friendly person, very supportive and caring. Made me feel much better.
