Kathleen Schober, LCSW

Kathleen Schober, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood shifts, and everyday thoughts and habits. She writes plainly, listens without judgment, and brings warmth and a little humor to sessions. Her manner is encouraging and practical for people who want manageable steps forward.

She trained at Fordham University and has 14 years of clinical work in Connecticut. Her experience includes outpatient substance use programs, psychiatric crisis work in emergency rooms, elder psychiatric support services, and private practice. That range informs how she tailors care to each person’s needs.

Kathleen uses approaches that focus on what a person thinks and does day to day. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, then adjusts methods as progress emerges. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, practical tools, and small habit changes that fit real life.

People come to her for help with depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, and life transitions. She also addresses substance use, hoarding, codependency, and issues that arise from past trauma and abuse. Kathleen aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She asks questions, listens for strengths, and offers strategies you can try between sessions. The overall focus is on improving day-to-day thinking and habits so life feels more steady and workable.

Approaches that shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It emphasizes the person’s own goals and supports them in finding their way rather than imposing solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and daily habits that maintain anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical steps and short-term goals to create forward movement and small wins.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative plan can change over time as needs shift or new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow people to use brief check-ins when days are tight. It can also let someone try techniques in their regular environment and then talk about what did or did not work. Ask about session options and scheduling so you can choose what fits your routine.
