About Kathleen
Kathleen Murphy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience. She trained in counseling psychology and now practices in Florida as an LMHC. Her approach is warm and focused, and she aims to meet people where they are.
Kathleen often helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She adapts therapy to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions blend practical skills and conversational work so people can make steady changes.
Background and approach
Kathleen draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and on client-centered methods to keep people at the center of the process. Mindfulness strategies are used to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. She also brings existential ideas when people are exploring meaning, life purpose, or big transitions.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs support finding internal reasons to change. Her background includes work across different U.S. regions, which she says informs a culturally aware practice. Kathleen emphasizes direct, clear conversations alongside compassionate listening.
She aims to be practical and structured when that helps, and flexible when the situation calls for it. Clients can expect a collaborative plan with goals they set together. Kathleen supports people coping with relationship concerns, parenting strain, career questions, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.
She works in English and offers a range of online session formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is heard, and helping people set goals that matter to them. This approach supports people who want a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that suit their preferences and needs. Adjustments happen along the way so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep progress moving forward.
