About Kathleen

Kathleen Stevens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with over 31 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and aims to help people address stress, anxiety, anger, relationship concerns, and more. Kathleen is direct while remaining nonjudgmental, and she uses everyday language to make conversations clear and useful.

She often uses humor to ease tense moments and believes people already hold important answers about their lives. Kathleen applies Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify practical steps toward their goals. Plans are tailored to each person's needs and adjusted as progress is made.

Her background includes work with birth parents, adoptive parents, active duty military, veterans, and others facing trauma, abuse, and communication challenges. That broad experience informs how she supports people through grief, caregiver stress, career transitions, parenting pressures, and midlife change.

In sessions, Kathleen focuses on concrete goals and small changes that add up. She listens for what matters most, highlights strengths, and helps people try new behaviors between appointments. Her approach aims to speed up the path from insight to action.

People seeking help for feelings of shame, isolation, body image struggles, or workplace difficulties will find practical tools and direct feedback. Kathleen emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

How Solution-Focused Work Fits Online

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear goals and practical steps. It asks what you want to be different and highlights small changes that move you toward that future. This approach can help with anger, stress, communication problems, and finding next steps during life transitions.

Kathleen pairs that method with a direct, interactive style. She works collaboratively to decide what approach fits your situation. Together you will choose goals, try brief experiments between sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also lets some people check in during shorter breaks or use sessions without being on camera when that is more comfortable. A therapist will review which approach and session rhythm suit your schedule and goals during the initial matching process.
