About Kathleen
Kathleen Wright is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 11 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, and relationship concerns. She works with adults who are coping with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, grief, and life changes. Kathleen practices in North Carolina and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people set practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Kathleen uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or feels stuck. Over more than a decade she has supported people dealing with co-occurring conditions like mood disorders and impulsivity. She also addresses issues that affect women and young adults and helps people manage ADHD symptoms alongside other concerns.
Therapy with Kathleen typically looks like a conversation about current struggles, a plan for small steps, and regular review of what’s working. She emphasizes resilience and practical strategies so people can manage crises and make steady progress. Her background and approach aim to make therapy clear, usable, and focused on real-life change.

Approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs to be heard, make sense of feelings, and choose their own pace for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and managing ADHD-related patterns.
Kathleen treats choice of approach as a team effort. She will listen to goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and workable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people connect face to face without traveling. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for quick support, daily check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
These formats make it simpler to fit regular sessions into parenting schedules, work days, or life transitions while still using CBT, trauma-focused strategies, and motivational techniques in practical ways.
