About Kathleen
Kathleen Schober is a Connecticut LCSW with 14 years of post-master clinical experience. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and anger. Kathleen also supports those navigating career changes, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and other life adjustments.
Her background includes work in outpatient substance abuse programs, psychiatric emergency services, and elder psych support services. She also has private practice experience and a master's degree from Fordham University. These roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to common and complex problems.
In sessions she leans on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client now, testing small changes, and building clearer coping tools. Kathleen mixes techniques rather than following a single rigid method.
People can expect a straightforward style with encouragement and occasional humor. Sessions cover real situations - snapping at loved ones, work frustration, buildups of resentment, or someone else's anger affecting daily life. The emphasis is on practical steps to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her experience with substance use settings and crisis work informs how she responds to strong emotions. Kathleen helps clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track what works. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier behavior, not quick fixes or guarantees.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. It helps when someone needs a steady conversation to sort through anger, values, and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses targeted exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing anger at work, reducing reactivity, and building alternative responses. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and short-term goals to create visible change quickly, which can be helpful when people want practical ways to lower tension.Choosing the right mix of these approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will try strategies, see what helps, and adjust plans together based on goals and preferences. That shared exploration helps match tools to the person's daily life and stressors.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or reduce travel time. It also supports carrying over practice into real-life settings by working on skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for a remote setting so progress continues in a way that fits everyday routines.
