Her background includes long experience with families and with clients facing prejudice and discrimination. She draws on approaches that are evidence based and aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Kathleen pays attention to cultural context and how identity shapes stresses and relationships.
In session she uses clear problem-solving, skill practice, and guided discussion. She helps clients rehearse new ways of talking and set small goals for change. Work may include strategies for panic attacks and tools to reduce ongoing anxiety.

Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions
Many of Kathleen’s methods come from well-studied, evidence-based techniques. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic - it breaks down physical and thought responses and practices brief exercises to reduce intensity. Another approach emphasizes communication skills and behavioral change - it helps people learn specific ways to speak and listen, and to try small changes between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen reviews a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggests which techniques to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as therapy proceeds.
