Hi there. My name is Kate and I bring with me, to Betterhelp, over 14 years of post-master clinical experience in Connecticut.
After earning my Masters at Fordham University, I gained valuable career experience through working in Substance Abuse out-patient rehab, Elderly psych support services, Emergency Room Psychiatric Crisis Intervention and private practice.
My approach can best be described as warm, respectful, non-judgmental encouragement with a smidge of humor thrown in. I utilize an eclectic array of treatment models tailoring them, as we go along, to your specific needs such as Cognitive-Behavior Treatment, Client-Centered Treatment, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Treatment to name a few.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship issues, ADHD, and emotional abuse.
If you are here, you are looking to improve your life in some way. I applaud your courage and willingness to explore and renew your committment to yourself and your future. Life is full of choices and you just made an important one. I am here to support and empower you. Thank you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kathleen is great!!
Kate is wonderful, she is very relatable and responds quickly any time I message. She has been so helpful the past few months, I’m so glad to have her as my therapist!
I really enjoy sessions with Kathleen because it helps me to discuss things that are stressing me out, but also things that will empower me. After just a few sessions, I've already been able to make some concrete changes to improve life for myself.
Getting a therapist is like shopping for clothes.. You want to find something that feels right and fits nice. That is Kat for me! She is an absolute pleasure. I feel comfortable in every session and am willing to dive deep into my past. This wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for her.
She is very open minded and great with giving advice to help with any scenario
Kate is extremely warm and welcoming during all therapy sessions, no matter if we’re messaging, on the phone or video chatting. She has a sprinkle of humor as well which I love and need. She’s very timely and truly listens to what me needs are. I value how she validates my feelings and can judge when im just venting verses looking for advice. She’s absolutely great and I would recommend her for your therapy needs!
After a couple sessions Kathleen and I are getting to know one another. Digging in. As trust is an issue, I trust Kathleen and feel comfortable yet vulnerable opening up. Feeling grateful for being matched with her.
Kathleen listens, hears me, and makes me feel comfortable sharing my thoughts.
She listens intently and offers great advice. She is open to discuss any of my concerns during each session and is attentive to the details of my life. She is consistently a smiling face and sprinkles in humor and enjoyable conversation into each session. I look forward to my weekly video chats with her.
I love how patient she is and how well she listens. She makes it easy to talk to her about things
She is very patient and caring to listen that I am hard of hearing. She gives me great tips that I need to do homework and helps me to process to grow.
Kathleen has been terrific. I feel like she listens to me and understands me, and she offers helpful insight.
Kate and I had an instant connection, and I've felt heard and understood every step of the way. Her advice and insight have been incredibly helpful in managing my PTSD, especially the intrusive thoughts it brings, and connecting the dots to understanding how what I'm currently struggling with can relate back to my PTSD. I look forward to our sessions and highly recommend working with Kate to anyone struggling with PTSD or other mental health concerns. She is wonderful
