About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of clinical experience in Connecticut. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and life transitions. Kathleen takes a calm and encouraging approach that feels down-to-earth and respectful.
She trained at Fordham University and has worked in outpatient substance abuse programs, elder psych support services, emergency room psychiatric crisis intervention, and independent practice. This mix of settings gives her practical experience with a wide range of problems.
Background and approach
In sessions she combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she listens closely, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and focuses on clear steps to move forward. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, with gentle humor when appropriate.
Kathleen aims to tailor each session to what the person needs right now rather than using one fixed method. She also supports people with family of origin issues, post-traumatic stress, hoarding, codependency, and problems tied to aging or midlife change. Kathleen works with concerns across relationships, career, self-esteem, and grief.
People who reach out will find practical tools, straightforward feedback, and collaborative planning. The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that can fit into a busy life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is based on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions; this approach fits concerns like self-esteem, relationship strain, and life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and small steps. Sessions often identify what already works, set clear next steps, and track progress over a short period.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you need flexibility. Live chat and messaging let you check in between sessions or have brief problem-solving conversations without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between visits.
