About Kathleen
Kathleen Borgeson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people through hard moments. She greets each new contact with warmth and practical support. Her focus includes grief, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career change, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue.
Kathleen listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most to each person. She helps people name feelings and then looks for realistic steps to feel steadier. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with space to process loss and strong emotions.
She has spent much of her career supporting people who face loss in many forms - the death of a loved one, job or housing changes, relationship endings, miscarriage, and other kinds of grief. Kathleen uses narrative work to help people tell and reorganize their story so loss feels less overwhelming.
Kathleen also draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and brief solution-focused strategies. These methods are used to build coping skills, manage anxiety, lift low mood, and set reachable goals.
Her style is patient-centered and pragmatic. She offers tools and resources while matching support to each person’s pace and needs. Kathleen practices in California and communicates in English.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many of the approaches Kathleen uses translate into clear online practices. Narrative work focuses on how someone tells their story and looks for different ways to make sense of loss, change, or identity shifts. It helps with grief, role changes, and making meaning after life disruptions.Mindfulness is taught as simple exercises and short practices to reduce stress and ground attention. These practices help with anxiety, low mood, and moments of overwhelm. Motivational interviewing uses curious, nonjudgmental questions to find what matters most and to spark small behavior changes that add up over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort. That choice is revisited as progress is made and needs shift.
