Kathleen Sutton, LCPC, LPC

Kathleen Sutton is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people facing life transitions, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and the stresses that come with caregiving and aging. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a background as a parenting coach and educator. Kathleen centers work on building self-esteem, recovering from abusive relationships, and finding direction during major life changes.

Her style is strengths-based and client-centered. She emphasizes an authentic therapeutic relationship and wants clients to feel heard and respected. Kathleen uses mindfulness, talk therapy, and expressive arts to help people name feelings and notice patterns.

She draws on somatic methods to address how stress and trauma can show up in the body. Kathleen also offers psychoeducation to teach practical tools for emotion regulation, self-care, and building resilience. Her approach aims to help clients reconnect with what they value and take manageable steps toward change.

Her work has included settings such as residential treatment centers, outpatient group practice, assisted living, correctional facilities, and a community-based art therapy collective. That range informs a flexible approach that adapts to individual needs and life context. Kathleen has experience working with a broad age range and has a particular interest in navigating the challenges of aging and caregiver stress.

She invites people to begin by sharing their story and goals, then shapes treatment to match those goals using talk, movement, and creative expression as appropriate.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotional life and helps people notice and change patterns in how they connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as things change. Clients and therapist decide together which tools and practices to use.

The listing notes messaging, live chat, phone, and video as offered services, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to try art-based exercises or grounding practices during a session and to build skills that transfer into daily routines.
