About Kathleen

Kathleen Weiss is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana with 37 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She blends practical strategies with an empathic, client-focused stance to help clients explore motivations, clarify values, and build day-to-day skills for improved mood and confidence. Her approach emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and examined.

Kathleen often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative coping strategies, while also incorporating client-centered and mindfulness-based practices to strengthen self-awareness and present-moment coping. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they take steps toward change.

Clients seeking help with midlife transitions, life purpose, aging or geriatric issues, mood disorders, or women’s concerns will find that Kathleen draws on decades of clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person’s goals. Her practice aims to empower individuals to make informed choices and build resilience for ongoing challenges.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Kathleen draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. CBT focuses on the link between thinking, feeling, and behavior and can be useful for building skills to manage mood and daily challenges.

She also incorporates client-centered principles that prioritize empathetic listening, respect for each person’s experience, and collaboration in setting goals. This approach helps create space for clients to explore values, motivation, and life decisions while feeling heard.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may blend CBT, client-centered strategies, and mindfulness-based practices as appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These formats can support regular skill practice and check-ins while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
