See online therapy optionsAbout Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is an LCSW - Connecticut Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and life changes. Kathleen also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, career questions, and family of origin issues.
She trained at Fordham University and has practiced across multiple settings in Connecticut. Her work has included outpatient substance use programs, psychiatric crisis intervention in emergency rooms, elderly psychiatric support services, and private practice. Those roles shaped a practical approach to common problems people bring to therapy.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and solution-focused methods. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, test different ways of responding, and set concrete short-term goals. Mindfulness techniques and problem-solving strategies are also part of her toolbox when they fit a person's needs.
Kathleen aims for direct, respectful conversation with occasional humor. She focuses on clear steps that people can try between sessions. Work might include tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing specific coping skills, and short goal-focused experiments to evaluate what changes help.
Her practice pays attention to practical life stages and stressors, including aging and geriatric issues, midlife concerns, and substance-related problems. People who want structured, behavioral tools alongside supportive conversation may find this approach fits their needs.
How Kathleen’s approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. Online sessions can use this by reviewing thought records, practicing behavior experiments, and setting small between-session tasks. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting to clarify goals and priorities. That style supports making choices and noticing what matters most in day-to-day life. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on concrete, short-term goals and steps; it’s useful for people who want measurable progress in a few sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Kathleen will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then pick approaches to try. She uses the first sessions to agree on concrete targets and practical homework, and then adjusts based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. It also supports doing in-the-moment exercises during daily routines and reviewing worksheets together during the meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tools so sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes.
