About Kathleen
Kathleen Nealon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing strong feelings and life changes. She focuses on listening carefully and offering steady support while someone works through hard moments like grief, stress, anger, or depression. She emphasizes a warm therapeutic relationship and looks for each person’s strengths.
Kathleen adapts her methods to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed approach. That means sessions tend to be practical, conversational, and aimed at small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on a mix of methods including psychodynamic ideas, systems thinking, solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and motivational interviewing. She explains options plainly and matches strategies to a person’s goals and personality. Kathleen has worked for many years in a range of settings.
Her background includes service in Haiti and helping people after disasters, work with people in recovery from addiction, and supporting those in transitional housing. She also has an undergraduate degree in special education, which informs her understanding of different learning and thinking styles.
People who come to her often need help with trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, relationship or intimacy concerns, sleep problems, or managing strong emotions. She draws on trauma-informed principles and a strength-based stance when supporting someone through change. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Kathleen aims to be a steady presence while people take steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
What Kathleen works with
Everything Kathleen lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Kathleen's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Psychodynamic-informed work helps people understand recurring patterns and feelings rooted in past relationships. It can shed light on why certain reactions, like anger or low mood, keep happening and what to do about them.Solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques offer direct tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches aim for small, achievable changes such as building routines for better sleep or trying new ways to respond to stress.
Kathleen approaches the choice of method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans if something does not feel helpful. This collaborative process helps find what works best for the individual over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use a face-to-face style when possible. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress notes, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options increase flexibility and let a person pick the format that matches their routine and comfort.
