Kathleen Bass, LPC

Kathleen Bass is an LPC who brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions. She focuses on practical concerns people often face in midlife and beyond, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, addiction-related issues, grief, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people make clear, manageable changes.

She uses conversational, goal-oriented work to address communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and intimacy-related concerns. Kathleen adapts each plan to the person in front of her rather than using a fixed script. Sessions emphasize actionable steps and real-world skills that can be tried between meetings.

Clients may bring issues like control problems, guilt or shame, impulsivity, isolation, or struggles tied to career and identity. She also helps those coping with separation or divorce, men’s issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Kathleen aims to create a respectful space where people can sort through what matters most to them.

Her style combines structured techniques with practical problem solving. She works with people to clarify goals, test new ways of relating, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Progress is tracked in simple, tangible terms so people can see what’s changing.

People interested in beginning work are invited to consider whether her areas of focus match their needs. The first step is a short matching process to connect with her and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Kathleen’s approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems and includes practical exercises and skill building. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting concrete goals and finding small steps that move a person toward those goals, which can help with relationship issues, midlife transitions, and feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen will work collaboratively with each person to match the methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to measure progress over time.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising a particular session type.
