About Kathryn

Kathryn Klein, LCPC, aims to connect with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps prioritize problems and set small, doable goals. Many people seek her help for anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and parenting strains, and issues connected to trauma, ADHD, or identity questions including LGBT concerns. Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to address feelings and behaviors.

Kathryn also integrates psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives when exploring deeper patterns that keep returning. She uses practical tools alongside conversations about meaning and inner experience. Sessions move at the client's pace, focusing on what matters most now.

Kathryn helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and cope with life changes, career stress, or compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing family-of-origin wounds, abandonment or trust issues, infidelity, and related emotional fallout. People who prefer a conversational, results-oriented style may find her approach useful.

Kathryn invites clients to tell their story, test ideas, and make steady changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual. Online this often looks like straightforward conversations where the therapist mirrors concerns and helps a person name priorities and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote work this can include brief exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to try between messages or calls.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and self-regulation. Over video or text, it can involve naming emotions, tracking responses, and practicing new ways to express needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as needs change.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins, quick questions, or working through ideas without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
