About Kathleen
Kathleen McGlynn is a New York licensed mental health counselor who draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help people navigate emotional challenges and life transitions.
Background and approach
She works with individuals facing addictions, anger, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns including parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes. Additional focus areas listed include HIV/AIDS, hoarding, intellectual disability, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality disorders.
Kathleen emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while shaping treatment to each person’s unique situation. Her approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients through goal setting, problem solving, and coping strategy development. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life can be difficult, and she aims to provide steady support as clients work toward meaningful change.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Kathleen integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques into online work to help clients pursue clear goals and everyday improvements. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens deeply and tailors support to each person's values and priorities; this approach can be useful for emotional healing, grief, and strengthening self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and coping with life transitions.Determining the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to explore steps, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on evolving needs and preferences so that treatment feels personally relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to practice skills between sessions with ongoing contact as needed.
