Background and approach
Parents often seek her help for parenting strain and family-related stress. She also addresses issues like communication problems, caregiver stress, self-esteem, and work-life balance. Conversations are direct and focused on realistic changes clients can try between sessions.
Kathlene uses a mix of evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She adapts techniques to each person rather than relying on a single method. Her style is empathetic but goal-oriented.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that fit their values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to change mood and coping. It works well for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflict feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel more relevant and useful to each person's day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be good for brief check-ins or processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping progress moving forward.
