About Kathleen
Kathleen views the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of effective work and approaches therapy as a journey of self-discovery tailored to each person. She aims to guide clients toward a clearer understanding of their strengths and areas for growth, and to empower them to use those strengths to navigate difficult moments. Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on practical coping and personal insight.
Please note that she does not work with clients who have thought about suicide in the last six months. She sets all of her own appointments and currently has limited availability, particularly in the evenings, which is subject to change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kathleen Connolly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship so the client can explore feelings and values at their own pace; it is often helpful for people navigating transitions, relationship concerns, or questions of identity. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, working with thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem by teaching skills that can be used day to day. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to help manage stress, improve sleep, and respond more calmly to difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kathleen partners with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she adjusts methods as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care so it fits the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into a busy life, manage caregiving responsibilities, or stay connected from a distance. These options provide multiple ways to engage with licensed professionals and continue steady, consistent work toward the client’s goals.
