About Kathleen
Kathleen Foss is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing major life changes and helps them develop practical skills to feel more emotionally steady and reach the goals they set for themselves.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also supports people coping with eating and food-related issues, fertility challenges, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
In sessions Kathleen focuses on concrete steps. She helps clients identify patterns, practice new ways of communicating, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday life situations like work, family, and health demands.
Her approach includes teaching skills for managing impulsivity, guilt and shame, jealousy, and avoidant patterns. She also assists caregivers who are balancing care responsibilities with other obligations and people navigating major transitions such as separation or changes related to aging.
Sessions are meant to strengthen a person’s ability to cope and move forward. To begin, clients complete a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and cost varies by location.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches guide remote work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and behavior changes. One common approach teaches clients concrete communication and problem-solving steps to reduce conflict and improve daily interactions. This helps with issues like communication problems, caregiver strain, and relationship changes.Another frequently used method concentrates on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with manageable habits. That approach is useful for coping with impulsivity, avoidance, feelings of emptiness, and loneliness by emphasizing small, repeatable actions that create steady progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and collaboratively decide which techniques to try first. That process can include trialing specific skill-focused exercises and adjusting methods based on how they fit your life and routines.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care during life transitions, while the therapist and client test what methods and rhythms work best.
