About Kathleen
Kathleen Wright is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and family concerns. Her work also addresses relationship strain, parenting challenges, and problems with mood and impulse control.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. That can mean talking through what’s happening now, looking at patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes to see what helps. Kathleen leans on Client-Centered work to listen and understand each person’s perspective. She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that affect mood.
For people coping with trauma or grief, she brings Trauma-Focused Therapy tools aimed at reducing overwhelming memories and reactions. Motivational Interviewing is a part of her approach when change feels difficult or motivation is low. The goal is practical steps the person can try between sessions.
Kathleen pays attention to co-occurring issues such as mood disorders, ADHD, and substance use so these are considered together rather than in isolation. She also notes focus on women’s issues and young adult issues from her practice background. Sessions are conducted in English and Kathleen accepts international clients; check session options before booking.
Her stated approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s lived experience. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Kathleen’s therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s pace and priorities while clarifying feelings and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, actions, and mood. In an online session CBT can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and reviewing short homework tasks between meetings to track change.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the hold of traumatic memories and reactions. When used online it still focuses on grounding, processing memories in manageable pieces, and building coping skills to reduce distress.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kathleen will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients take an active role in deciding which methods to use and what goals to set.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, shorten some check-ins, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can fit into a workday, parenting schedule, or other time constraints.
