About Kathleen
Kathleen Sutton is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience in Nevada and neighboring states. She previously worked as a parenting coach and educator and now focuses on parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood disorders among other concerns.
She uses practical talk therapy alongside body-based and expressive methods. Kathleen blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, attachment-informed thinking, and client-centered listening. Sessions can include somatic work and art-based activities to help people name feelings and notice physical tension.
Her prior settings include residential treatment, outpatient group practice, correctional facilities, assisted living, and a community art therapy collective. That experience informs a straightforward, strengths-oriented way of working. She aims to help people build self-regulation skills, clarify direction during life changes, and address patterns that show up in family relationships.
Kathleen often brings psychoeducation into sessions when helpful. She teaches practical practices for managing stress, improving sleep, and handling emotional overwhelm. She also supports people recovering from abusive relationships and those navigating the process of aging.
The first sessions focus on clarifying current concerns, setting concrete goals, and picking approaches that fit each person. Kathleen offers a combination of conversational work, mindfulness exercises, and expressive techniques to help people move from stuckness toward clearer choices and steadier routines.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose behaviors that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and can help with family of origin issues and communication problems.Kathleen treats choosing the right approach as a shared process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals and daily life. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, body awareness, or expressive art activities.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The original profile lists messaging, live chat, phone, and video as offered services. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try art or somatic exercises without traveling. These practical benefits can help clients keep therapy consistent while they manage parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
