Kathleen Walker, LPC

Kathleen Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, thought-based work and everyday habits. She speaks plainly and helps people take steady steps toward managing stress, anxiety, addiction, and low self-esteem. Kathleen aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling daily responsibilities.

She changed careers in her thirties and has spent the last decade studying and practicing mental health care. That experience includes working with people facing addiction and impulse problems, plus those processing trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal oriented.

Kathleen uses methods that fit each person, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She draws from therapies that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and values to build new habits and coping skills. Sessions include talking through challenges, trying new strategies, and checking what works in daily life.

Common topics she addresses include relationship strain, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, body image, and problems with control or codependency. She also supports people facing eating and substance issues, hoarding, and the emotional fallout of family-of-origin problems. Kathleen pays attention to how these concerns show up in day-to-day routines.

Her practice centers on helping people notice patterns and make small changes they can keep. Kathleen aims to help clients clarify goals, learn concrete skills, and apply them between sessions. She welcomes people who want steady, practical support as they work toward clearer priorities and healthier habits.

How Kathleen’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It supports work on motivation and everyday habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Kathleen treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Together they check what works and adjust strategies over time so therapy stays useful and practical.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide you through practicing new skills between sessions and help translate techniques like ACT and CBT into daily routines.
