About Kathleen

Kathleen Kallman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who emphasizes practical, skills-based strategies rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical practice in Missouri, she focuses on helping people navigate relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and the emotional struggles that follow major life transitions. Kathleen combines structured tools with attentive listening to create a plan tailored to each client's situation.

Her work also addresses common mood and stress-related problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, and compassion fatigue, along with issues tied to parenting, career shifts, addiction, and anger. Kathleen brings experience supporting those facing adoption or foster care matters, aging and end-of-life concerns, postpartum and perinatal issues, and post-traumatic stress.

She aims to meet clients where they are and to adapt therapeutic methods to match individual goals and preferences.

CBT-Informed Care and Flexible Online Sessions

Kathleen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many relationship or coping challenges. CBT emphasizes practical exercises and goal-oriented work so clients can practice new skills between sessions and track progress over time.

The right therapeutic approach often unfolds collaboratively, and Kathleen partners with each person to determine what strategies fit their needs and goals. She blends structured CBT techniques with attentive listening and tailors interventions to a client's circumstances, helping shape a plan that feels meaningful and achievable.

Online therapy with Kathleen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care despite busy lives or geographic distance, and they support a range of preferences for real-time or written communication with a licensed professional.
