More about Kathleen
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in New Jersey, I bring 25 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal transitions. I focus on empowering individuals to develop stronger communication skills, overcome social anxiety, and rediscover their sense of purpose.
My therapeutic approach centers on addressing a wide range of concerns, including addiction recovery, family dynamics, workplace challenges, and women's/men's mental health. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients build self-love, work through codependency, and develop healthy coping strategies during significant life changes.
I believe in creating a compassionate, collaborative space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to support you in developing resilience, understanding, and authentic connections—both with yourself and others.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kathy is amazing. I was very hesitant about therapy, and she has made it so comfortable! I appreciate her so much!
So far I like Kathleen very much!!! She is awesome!!
Kathy has and continues to help me very much, I’m still new to therapy but she keeps me engaged so I don’t stop making appointments. It’s really hard to start this and stick with it but I’m lucky to be working with her
I’ve only had one session but i was very happy and I’m looking forward to another
