About Kathleen
Kathleen Borgeson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of practice. She focuses on grief, loss, depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Kathleen uses a mix of approaches she lists, and she works with adults across the lifespan. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Kathleen frames grief broadly to include the loss of people, jobs, homes, relationships, and pregnancy loss. She describes grief as something that can show up alongside depression, anxiety, and low self-worth. In sessions she encourages expressing feelings and looks for ways to restore everyday functioning after a loss.
Her approach blends narrative work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people describe their experiences and consider steps forward. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to address patterns of thinking and to set short-term goals. Kathleen emphasizes patience and practical supports rather than lengthy theory talk.
In practical terms she offers tools, resources, and coaching-style interventions to help manage stress and reframe difficult moments. She aims to help people rebuild routine and confidence after change or loss. The work tends to be conversational, with a focus on concrete steps between sessions.
Anyone considering work for grief, life transitions, parenting strain, career setbacks, or compassion fatigue can expect a blend of narrative exploration and skill-building. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats before scheduling a first visit.

Approaches used and how online work proceeds
Two of the main approaches Kathleen cites are narrative therapy and mindfulness. Narrative work helps people tell the story of what happened, separating the event from the person so they can see different possibilities. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactive stress and to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set small achievable goals. That technique is useful for decisions about career moves, parenting choices, or steps through grieving. Kathleen treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will work with clients to try methods that fit their needs and preferences.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Licensed professionals can adapt the same narrative, mindfulness, and motivational techniques to remote sessions, focusing on practical steps and skill practice between meetings.
