Kathleen Schober, LCSW

Kathleen Schober is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life changes. She works with individuals facing ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger, career strain, and questions about life purpose. Her approach includes warmth, respect, and straightforward support as people take steps toward change.

She trained at Fordham University and has clinical experience across outpatient substance use treatment, elderly psychiatric support services, emergency room crisis intervention, and private practice in Connecticut. That background gives her familiarity with both short-term crises and longer-term recovery work.

Kathleen mixes evidence-based tools with a client-centered attitude. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals and track progress over time.

Sessions are conversational and goal-directed. She aims to make space for honest talk while offering clear, doable steps forward. Humor and encouragement are part of her style when appropriate.

There is attention to aging and geriatric issues within her practice, alongside concerns such as hoarding, codependency, infidelity, and family-of-origin patterns. Kathleen emphasizes collaborating with each person to find what helps them feel more capable and hopeful.

People who choose her often want practical strategies and steady support during transitions. She invites anyone ready to explore change to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How Kathleen Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and the steps that lead to them, which is useful for people wanting quick, practical progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to test methods, see what feels useful, and adjust plans based on needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps tailor sessions to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Kathleen is meeting with people. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full visit is not needed. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks or when mobility or transportation are challenges. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your daily routine.
