Kathleen Connolly, LICSW

Kathleen Connolly is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing major life shifts and the emotions those changes bring. Kathleen focuses on practical support for people feeling stressed, anxious, or unsure about next steps.

Her work often addresses transitions such as career change, aging, caregiving, and relationship shifts. She also helps people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, sleep or eating struggles, and attention challenges. Kathleen draws on straightforward conversation and listening to help clarify what matters most to each person.

In sessions she emphasizes the relationship between therapist and client. She treats therapy as a joint journey of discovery. Kathleen helps people identify strengths and patterns, and then practice different choices to meet their goals.

Her background includes two decades in varied clinical settings and experience with a broad age range of adults. That variety has shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person’s situation. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and supports small steps forward.

Note that she does not work with anyone who has thought about suicide in the past six months. People interested in starting can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How Kathleen’s approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own path. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out life changes and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and introduces small experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating troubles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit best. Goals, daily demands, and personal preferences guide which tools are used and how sessions are paced.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. It can also let people try techniques between sessions and bring work or caregiving challenges into conversation in real time. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your routine.
