About Kathleen
Kathleen Wright is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who guides people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on eleven years of clinical experience to support those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD, and career or self-esteem struggles.
Her practice also addresses co-morbidity, post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), family problems, women’s issues, and challenges commonly faced by young adults. Her style emphasizes listening closely to each person's story and building a collaborative plan that uses practical, evidence-informed methods.
Kathleen integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, client-centered principles to honor individual values and goals, and trauma-focused strategies when processing difficult experiences. She brings motivational interviewing skills to support readiness for change and to strengthen commitment to treatment goals.
Based in North Carolina and credentialed as an LCMHC, she offers an approachable, strengths-based atmosphere aimed at helping clients develop concrete coping skills and regain a sense of direction during life transitions.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Kathleen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress; CBT often involves practical exercises and skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also employs client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can shape their own goals and pace of change. When readiness for change is a focus, motivational interviewing techniques are used to explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to steps that align with personal values.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to consider goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting strategies over time to find what feels most helpful for the individual's situation.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or connect from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to continue progress even when in-person visits are not practical.
