About Kathleen
Kathleen Sutton is an LCPC and LPC practicing in Nevada with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, stress, grief, trauma andlife transitions. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She uses clear, practical methods in session. Kathleen blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions can include talk therapy, somatic techniques, mindfulness practice, and expressive art activities when useful.
Her background includes work in residential treatment centers, outpatient group practice, correctional settings, assisted living, and a community art therapy collective. Before clinical work she was a parenting coach and educator, and that experience informs her approach to parenting concerns.
Kathleen aims to focus on strengths and on building skills people can use day to day. She offers psychoeducation and exercises for emotion regulation, coping, and self-care. When trauma is involved she integrates trauma-informed, body-based methods alongside cognitive and acceptance strategies.
People who prefer a practical, skills-oriented approach that also includes creative expression may find this style helpful. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and next steps can be outlined.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and many everyday problems because it breaks issues into clear steps to try.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and choose valued actions despite them. ACT focuses on values and small behavior changes rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kathleen will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, somatic practices, or expressive art exercises fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as sessions progress.
Session formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking. When considering online work, practical benefits include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and the option to use audio rather than video if that is easier. Ask about which formats are offered and how art-based or somatic exercises are adapted for remote sessions before your first appointment.
