About Kathleen
Kathleen McGlynn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on common and intense problems such as anger, addictions, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. Kathleen works with people who are also managing parenting stress, career pressure, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, conversation-based sessions. Kathleen leans on client-centered therapy to follow a person's priorities, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are practical and talk-focused, with time spent on specific strategies to reduce reactivity and manage mood.
In early meetings she listens for what makes anger feel out of control and what patterns keep it returning. She helps people practice new responses, test small changes, and track what works outside sessions. Kathleen also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, hoarding, paranoia, intellectual disability concerns, and long-term conditions such as bipolar disorder and HIV or AIDS related issues.
Her approach is direct and steady. She avoids jargon and explains skills in simple steps. People who want help lowering daily frustration, handling another person's anger in their life, or recovering from past trauma will find clear tools and regular check-ins.
Sessions are conducted in English from a New York practice. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and the subscription billing arrangement used for appointments.
CBT and Client-Centered Approaches for Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. It helps uncover what matters most and supports people in choosing the changes they want to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses to anger and mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and challenges and then choose or combine methods with the client. That collaborative process helps decide which skills to try first and when to adjust the plan.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can remove travel, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer a phone conversation. Licensed professionals can help apply CBT exercises and client-centered conversation in a way that fits day-to-day routines and responsibilities.
