About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of post-master clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.
She trained at Fordham University for her master’s degree and has worked in outpatient substance abuse programs, elderly psychiatric support services, emergency room psychiatric crisis intervention, and private practice. Those settings shaped her focus on practical coping skills and clear problem solving.
Kathleen’s style centers on straightforward, respectful conversation. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete goals and notice steps that move someone forward.
Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and short exercises aimed at real-life problems. She will suggest strategies for managing cravings, mood swings, anxiety, or grief, and will work through decision points like career shifts or relationship boundaries.
Kathleen works with adults who want practical tools and clear next steps. She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress regularly. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How Kathleen uses common approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify values and priorities and guides the pace of work based on their concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and managing mood by teaching skillful strategies and small behavior experiments.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete goals and the next practical steps. Sessions often identify one or two actions a person can try before the next meeting to test what helps.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. Kathleen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. She adapts methods based on those conversations so the work fits the person rather than assuming one single method.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow for shorter focused check-ins, and reduce travel time. Many people find it useful to schedule sessions around work breaks, recovery commitments, or caregiving responsibilities to keep therapy practical and sustainable.
