About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes. She greets clients with warmth and a straightforward manner. Her style aims to make conversations feel safe and practical so people can take small steps forward.
Kathleen earned her master of social work from Fordham University and built her practice in Connecticut. She has worked in outpatient substance use treatment, elderly psychiatric support services, emergency room psychiatric crisis intervention, and in private practice. Those settings shaped a flexible, hands-on way of working.
Her sessions focus on listening closely and adapting methods to each person. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical goals. Mindfulness and other tools are added when useful.
Kathleen helps people sort out everyday problems and longer-standing patterns. That can mean finding ways to manage mood, rebuild routines after loss, address addictive behavior, improve self-worth, or cope with career and midlife transitions. She keeps the tone encouraging and occasionally light when it helps move things along.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process focused on clear steps and real-life solutions. Kathleen aims to support each person in making choices that fit their values and goals.
How these approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, which helps build trust and uncover what matters most to the person. It is useful when someone needs a calm, accepting space to talk through feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and often helps when someone wants quick, practical steps to move forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what is working. This partnership helps tailor sessions to personal needs and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and provide continuity when schedules change. These practical benefits can help therapy feel more manageable while focusing on real-life outcomes.
