About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of post-master clinical experience in Connecticut. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career shifts, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and other life changes.
She trained with a master's degree and then worked in outpatient substance abuse rehab, elderly psychiatric support services, emergency room psychiatric crisis intervention, and private practice. Those settings shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of working with people who are managing strong emotions or difficult circumstances.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She uses client-centered conversation to hear what matters most, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and solution-focused ideas to build small, manageable steps forward. Humor and straightforward feedback are included when useful.
People meet her to talk through anger, recover from substance problems, navigate grief, or get clearer about relationships and career choices. She helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and track progress in simple ways.
Her background with older adults, crisis work, and addiction services informs how she approaches complex problems. Kathleen emphasizes practical tools people can use between sessions and checks in about what is or isn't working. She asks clients to set short-term goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.
How therapeutic approaches apply to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions can use that same open conversation to help someone name triggers for anger and decide what matters to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work CBT tools can include tracking thought patterns, practicing alternative responses, and reviewing short home exercises. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what works now; it helps people set concrete goals and test brief changes between sessions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust when something isnt helpful. Clients and the therapist check progress and choose methods that fit the person's needs and preferences.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, join from quieter surroundings, or avoid travel time. They also allow work on thought records, behavioral experiments, and solution-focused homework between meetings to make therapy feel actionable.
