About Kathleen

Kathleen Neiswonger is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who supports people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or diminished by negative emotions. With four years of clinical experience and a background that includes teaching middle and high school English, work in community mental health and private practice, and service as a school counselor, she brings practical insight and compassion to therapeutic work.

Kathleen understands how guilt, shame, emptiness, and symptoms of mental illness can interfere with daily life and with the ability to pursue meaningful goals. She frames therapy as a pathway to rediscovering an inner drive and to moving past barriers that have held a person back. Her approach honors each person as a whole, including spiritual concerns, and she offers exploration of spiritual dimensions when a client wishes to include them.

Committed to helping people participate more fully in a life that feels exciting and fulfilling, Kathleen draws on a range of clinical tools to address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions. She works collaboratively with clients to identify values and goals, and to build practical strategies for change and renewed purpose.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Kathleen commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where a person can explore values and goals while the therapist provides empathy and support. This approach helps with feelings of emptiness, low motivation, and relational concerns. CBT examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and break unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can be useful for stress management, emotional regulation, and coping with trauma symptoms.

Kathleen treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress. The therapeutic plan evolves with client feedback and changing circumstances.

Offering services through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue care during life transitions. Online options allow clients and licensed professionals to engage in focused, goal-oriented work without requiring travel, supporting steady momentum toward meaningful change.
