More about Kathleen

  • 33 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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
