About Kathleen
Kathleen Nealon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anger, anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, sleep problems, and substance concerns. Kathleen speaks English and Haitian Creole.
Her style is practical and relationship-focused. She listens closely and tries to understand each person’s situation before suggesting ways forward. She draws from several approaches rather than relying on a single technique. That means sessions may include talking about past patterns, looking at current interactions, and trying short, actionable steps to shift behavior.
Kathleen’s background includes long-term work with people in varied circumstances. She has experience supporting individuals after natural disasters and in homelessness and recovery settings. She has also worked cross-culturally, including several years living in Haiti. Those experiences shape how she assesses stress, trauma, and resilience in everyday life.
In sessions she pays attention to strengths and practical resources a person already has. She may use conversational methods to identify triggers, test small changes, and practice different responses to anger or conflict. She also addresses related issues such as sleep, concentration, and relationship stress when they affect mood and self-control.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If you want to explore working on anger and related concerns, Kathleen offers help in English and Haitian Creole and can discuss next steps.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
She commonly draws from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and use short practical experiments to test new responses to anger and stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build small goals that feel doable.She also uses solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they are useful. Solution-focused work targets immediate goals and steps you can try between sessions. Psychodynamic thinking can help identify long-standing patterns that show up in relationships and lead to recurring anger or resentment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as progress is made or new issues come up.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about which session style best matches your schedule and day-to-day demands.
