About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 14 years of post-master clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people coping with grief, anger, career questions, ADHD, and life transitions.
She trained at Fordham University and has worked in outpatient substance abuse programs, elderly psychiatric support services, emergency room psychiatric crisis intervention, and private practice. Those settings shaped a practical, straightforward approach to common problems people bring to therapy.
Sessions focus on talking through immediate concerns and trying small, doable changes between meetings. She uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy is part of the toolkit when a client wants concrete steps and short-term goals. Kathleen adapts methods as the work progresses, matching what is helpful to the current issue. She brings a direct but respectful manner and sometimes a little light humor to keep hard conversations manageable.
People considering work on family of origin patterns will find an emphasis on how childhood roles and expectations show up now. Kathleen helps identify repeating patterns, practice different responses, and plan next steps that fit everyday life.
How Kathleen’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's point of view. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on understanding what matters most and on clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; online CBT often uses short exercises and homework between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to practical steps and immediate goals, which can fit well into regular brief sessions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, usual patterns, and what has worked in the past. Together they will pick methods and try them, then adjust the plan based on what helps most for the client's concerns and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also support doing CBT exercises or solution-focused planning between sessions so changes can be tested in everyday life.
