Background and approach
In sessions she pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts and behaviour. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work, earned in 1996. The degree is noted for its long history and reputation in social work education.
Kathy’s license is FL LCSW SW10574 and she practices in Florida. In a typical session she helps people name what is happening, try small experiments, and build habits that reduce overwhelm. She also supports work on grief, addiction, parenting stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Conversations can include skills practice and attention to physical sensations tied to emotions. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone. Kathy asks questions, listens, and offers tools drawn from several approaches.
Remote formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How somatic and talk approaches work online
Somatic work pays attention to body sensations and how they relate to emotions. Online sessions can include guided attention to breathing, posture, and subtle bodily cues to help reduce overwhelm and increase awareness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person’s concerns guide the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits individual needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and keep continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, run conversations, and guide somatic awareness in real time, making therapy flexible and accessible.
