About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with 14 years of post-master clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, grief, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the practical effects of life changes.
She trained at Fordham University and has worked in several clinical settings. Those include outpatient substance use treatment, psychiatric crisis care in an emergency room, elderly psychiatric support services, and private practice. That range shaped a straightforward clinical style focused on clear goals and practical tools.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods to listen and prioritize what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable steps so progress can be seen between meetings.
Sessions often include direct discussion, skills practice, and short-term planning for problems such as addiction, hoarding, or family of origin issues. Kathleen also draws on mindfulness ideas when people want to learn ways to manage stress and emotional reactivity.
Her background in elder services and substance use programs means she can address aging and geriatric issues, drug and alcohol addiction, and post-traumatic stress with attention to practical supports. People who want clear, down-to-earth help with life transitions or persistent mood and anxiety problems may find this approach suitable.
BHow sessions work
How Kathleen blends practical approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people set their own priorities. It is useful when someone needs a steady, validating conversation to sort out what matters and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable changes. Sessions using this approach often identify one or two concrete steps to try before the next meeting so progress can be tracked.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps clarify which techniques to prioritize and how to measure progress.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can fit into busy days and make it easier to attend from work breaks, during childcare windows, or when travel would otherwise be a barrier. They also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that better fits someone's energy or bandwidth.
