About Kathleen
Kathleen (Kathy) Malone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, parenting struggles, motivation, and coping with life changes.
She helps people talk through grief and loss and the strain that life changes can place on close relationships. Kathy works with adults who are managing low confidence, changes in parenting roles, or the fallout from infidelity and family conflict. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue for those in caring roles.
Kathy uses a mix of approaches in sessions and brings mindfulness into conversations to help ground difficult emotions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small steps toward what matters to them. Jungian ideas inform longer-term exploration of meaning and patterns that repeat across relationships.
Her style is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable next steps, and tracking what does or does not work. Clients can expect to talk about real-life situations, practice new ways of responding, and notice gradual change over time.
Kathy accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English. If someone is considering a first session, she asks them to complete the intake steps listed on the service site before scheduling so the first visit can focus on priorities and planning.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are strong. It is useful for grief, low motivation, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions and greater self-understanding. That approach supports work on self-esteem, relationships, and parenting. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm intense feelings, which can help with compassion fatigue and intimacy-related struggles.Kathy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try interventions, and adjust the plan when something is not helping. The process emphasizes collaboration rather than a fixed method.
Session logistics should be checked before booking because formats are not listed here. Confirm which kinds of remote sessions are offered for scheduling details. The main practical benefit of remote work is easier integration into daily life - appointments can fit around work, caregiving, or treatment commitments. Remote sessions also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed, and options that do not require being on camera can reduce bandwidth or time demands. Licensed professionals can work with clients across locations when permitted, and Kathy does accept international clients, so confirm time zones and format before your first session.
