More about Kathleen

  • 32 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with over 32 years of professional experience, working with adults and adolescents in a variety of treatment settings. Throughout my career, I have developed great skills in helping clients manage stress and anxiety, build communication skills and strengthen relationships, work through trauma and abuse, develop healthy ways of managing anger and other unpleasant emotions, and enhance adaptive coping skills. Sensitive to the needs of clients, I am able to tailor interventions to meet their unique needs. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have enormous strengths that will assist you in overcoming life's challenges. Similarly, I value the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle through which all change is possible. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and I commend you in taking the first steps towards change. I am excited to learn more about you and to support and empower you in that journey.

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.

Ms. Kathy is the best. She listens to me and clarifies to make sure she understands me. Ms. Kathy gives me little homework assignments and I really feel like I am learning about myself. I respect her and her professionalism. She has excellent bedside manner.
