About Kathleen
Kathleen Hauburger is a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut with seven years of practice. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations easy to begin when life feels overwhelming.
Kathleen centers sessions on what matters most to each person. She listens without judgment and helps people name worries, sort priorities, and build small steps forward.
Background and approach
Practical problem solving and clear communication are part of how she works in session. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and caregiving stress. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Mindful techniques and trauma-focused strategies are woven in when they suit a person’s needs. People bring many kinds of concerns, from panic or obsessive thoughts to struggles with substance use or family conflict. Kathleen also helps those coping with pregnancy, childbirth, fertility issues, or the exhaustion of caregiving.
She aims to make tools feel usable outside therapy, not just talked about in the room. Sessions are presented with an emphasis on collaboration. Kathleen supports people to set realistic goals, test new ways of coping, and notice progress.
The work is paced to each person’s readiness and life demands.

Therapeutic approaches and making online therapy work for you
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early caregiving patterns shape current relationships and stress responses. It can help people understand connection struggles and improve communication with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and compulsive responses. This approach is practical and often includes exercises to practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will talk with each person about their goals, life situation, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust them as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face without traveling, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice possible between sessions or for quick support on a busy day. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and make consistent contact more achievable.
