My name is Kathleen and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I offer virtual counseling to individual adults. I use a variety of techniques based on client needs including trauma-informed CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and psychoeducation. I specialize in helping others struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, and trauma. Emotional regulation has an effect on so many aspects of our everyday lives and we can work together on helping you achieve a life worth living. I am here to provide empathy, encouragement, and support. My availability is mostly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the evening. https://sites.google.com/view/kroberts-counseling/home

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and then go over your intake paperwork and assessments. Together will will create a treatment plan that will help work toward the goals that you identify as being important to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked with a wide variety of populations including adolescents, parents of children with special needs, foster children and parents, adults, and veterans. I have the educational and professional experience to support my clients and I lead with understanding and empathy. I provide a confidential and judgment-free place to help you grow. I absolutely understand that this is not a decision you are making lightly and look forward to working with you. I am passionate about human rights, LGBTQ+ allyship, and gender-affirming. I'm glad you're here.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy being a therapist, even on the hard days. We only spend an hour together each week so it is important for my clients to "put in the work" between sessions.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and use it in a variety of ways with my clients. We can work together on interpersonal skills, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps us connect our thoughts, behaviors, and actions. Having a deeper understanding of how our mind works can be incredibly helpful in therapy. I can help you challenge your thoughts and see things from different perspectives.

Grief Therapy

Dealing with loss is hard. I believe in helping clients learn how to live with their grief and loss instead of teaching them to push their feelings down so they can move on.

Psychoeducation

I believe in teaching you as we go. Therapy isn't meant to be forever, my goal is to help you build skills and increase knowledge in order to live your best life. You can always come back to therapy, life happens and that's why I'm here to help!
