About Kathleen
Kathleen McGlynn is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She has 12 years of experience helping people facing addictions, anger, depression, grief, and major life changes. Kathleen speaks English and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people feel heard and understood.
Her approach is collaborative and simple. She listens first, then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their situation. Kathleen uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's perspective and promote self-directed growth. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behavior.
Sessions usually revolve around clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Kathleen addresses issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and career stress by breaking problems into manageable parts. For people dealing with trauma, obsessive thoughts, hoarding, or challenges related to intellectual disability and HIV/AIDS, she adapts pace and language to match needs.
She emphasizes straightforward conversation and concrete tools rather than jargon. Kathleen encourages breathing room for reflection and small, testable experiments between meetings. Her style aims to help people build skills they can use outside the therapy hour.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Kathleen Uses Client-Focused and Cognitive Methods Online
Kathleen blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work in clear, down-to-earth ways. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can explore their own goals and choices. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings about parenting, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments to change patterns. It can be helpful for problems like depression, anger, obsessive thinking, and some anxiety-related issues by offering concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. This collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions to preferences and progress over time.
