Kathleen Nealon, LCSW

Kathleen Nealon is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to walk alongside people during hard seasons. She listens closely and offers steady support while helping individuals find clearer footing. Her style is warm and practical, focused on helping people feel more able to manage their daily lives and challenges.

Kathleen tailors her work to each person rather than using one fixed method. She pulls from different ways of working depending on what a person needs and prefers. Common techniques she uses include psychodynamic ideas, systems thinking, solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral methods, and motivational interviewing. Her overall stance emphasizes strengths and pays attention to trauma's effects.

Across nearly 12 years of clinical experience, Kathleen has worked with many populations and life situations. Her background includes time spent in Haiti and supporting people after disasters and in transitional housing. She has accompanied people at different stages of addiction recovery, individuals facing housing instability, hospice patients, young mothers, and others navigating loss or big life change.

Her undergraduate training in special education and subsequent social work practice shape how she supports people who learn or think differently. Kathleen often helps with grief, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, sleep problems, self-esteem, and coping with change. She also lists addictions and ADHD among her focus areas.

Kathleen practices in Florida and works in English and Haitian Creole. If someone wants to explore working together, the next step is to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

Approaches and how online therapy can fit your life

Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that repeat over time and help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for people dealing with long-standing relationship or emotional patterns.

Solution-focused work centers on small, practical steps and what a person wants to see change. It often helps when someone prefers concrete goals and brief strategies to manage stress, parenting challenges, or sobriety supports.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then use techniques that fit. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It lets people connect without traveling, schedule shorter check-ins when needed, or pick times that work around work or caregiving duties. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm available session options before booking so they meet your timing and practical needs.
