About Kathleen
Kathleen McGlynn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has 12 years of clinical experience helping people who are struggling with addiction, anger, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Kathleen works with each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supported.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what needs to change. Kathleen adapts the way she talks and the plan she follows to fit each person's situation. This means sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and space to process feelings.
She commonly uses client-centered therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where a person sets the pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. Those methods are applied to a range of concerns from trauma and bipolar symptoms to hoarding and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Beyond those areas she offers support for career stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and issues related to HIV/AIDS and intellectual disability. Kathleen aims to help people find workable steps forward rather than quick fixes.
If you are thinking about starting, expect a collaborative conversation to define goals and a plan. The initial work is about clarity, small shifts, and building on strengths.
How Kathleen’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps a person set goals at their own pace. It is often useful for people who need a calm space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete tools for mood, anxiety, compulsions, and managing reactions to stress or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen collaborates with each person to test what fits best, adjusting methods to match needs, goals, and preferences. That means sessions can shift between listening, skills practice, and problem-solving as progress unfolds.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier access when schedules are busy and the ability to fit sessions into a weekday break or evening. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
