About Kathleen
Kathleen Nealon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life changes. Kathleen also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, ADHD, intimacy and relationship concerns, sleep problems, and self-esteem struggles.
She listens first and aims to understand each person's situation. Kathleen draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She commonly uses psychodynamic ideas, systems thinking, solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing to match what a person needs and prefers.
Her background includes extensive cross-cultural work and time spent living in Haiti. She has worked with people in a variety of settings including transitional housing, recovery programs, hospice care, and post-disaster outreach. That range of experience informs the practical ways she helps people manage stressors and strong emotions.
Sessions emphasize the relationship between therapist and client and focus on strengths and trauma-informed care. Kathleen often helps people identify triggers, practice new responses to anger, and build manageable routines to reduce overwhelm. She supports parents who are struggling with parenting stress and people facing big transitions in life.
If someone wants to start, they are invited to use the online intake flow to match and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and Haitian Creole, and planning around each person's goals is part of the early work.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns that fuel anger and try small, practical behavior changes. CBT-style work focuses on concrete skills like spotting triggers and testing new responses in daily life.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find their own reasons to change. This approach is conversational and goal-focused, useful when someone feels stuck or undecided about taking steps to manage anger.
Finding the best approach is part of the early sessions. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means adjusting pace, practicing techniques together, and checking in about what helps.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats directly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce time lost to travel. Therapists who offer remote work can also switch between more involved skill-building sessions and brief follow-ups to match what someone needs that week.
