About Kathleen
Kathleen (Kathy) Malone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief and loss, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and family issues, self-esteem, and motivation. Kathy also works with people facing life changes and career questions and addresses topics like compassion fatigue and family of origin issues.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, Jungian ideas, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques to guide sessions. In practical terms this means she helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice ways of responding differently to stress and relationships.
Sessions usually begin with a clear discussion of the problem and what the person hopes to change. Kathy pays attention to how family roles and early experiences still shape choices and emotions. She offers a mix of talking, reflective exercises, and mindfulness practices to build more usable habits in daily life.
Her work with grief, end-of-life concerns, and caregiving balances practical planning with emotional processing. When parenting or relationship issues come up, she helps people identify recurring interactions and explore different ways to set boundaries and express needs. Clients also find support for midlife questions, career shifts, and recovering from infidelity or loss.
Kathy works in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin shaping goals together.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for coping with life changes, low motivation, or ongoing worry.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can find their own direction. This approach is helpful when someone wants a supportive space to sort out relationship decisions or parenting concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate remote sessions because they can fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online meetings can make it easier to keep continuity during life transitions and allow the therapist to use mindfulness exercises, values-based tasks, and reflective conversation in ways that fit everyday life.
