Katheryn Cloud, LCSW

Katheryn "KC" Cloud is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with extensive experience in hospice and palliative care. She holds certifications in Advanced Palliative and Hospice Care and has worked for many years alongside people facing serious illness, loss, and end-of-life transitions. Her background has given her deep familiarity with grief and loss in many forms - the death of a spouse or child, the loss of a job or a pet, and the changes that come with aging.

Katheryn approaches counseling with compassion and a focus on helping people find acceptance and meaningful change. She recognizes the courage it takes to reach out for support and is willing to take the initial steps alongside clients as they work toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Please note that Katheryn does not accept live texting therapy clients. She offers therapy by video and by telephone and is available to meet people who prefer those formats.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katheryn uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore feelings related to grief, loss, relationships, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors, offering practical tools to manage symptoms and build coping skills. Mindfulness therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can be especially useful for managing stress, bereavement, and the emotional demands of caregiving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katheryn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

For people who prefer remote sessions, Katheryn provides therapy by video and by telephone, which can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during major life transitions. These formats support regular, flexible access to a licensed professional while working toward healing and practical solutions.
