About Kathleen
Kathleen Eager-Ariz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or changes in life. She writes plainly, checks in with clients about daily habits and emotions, and focuses on small steps that make life feel more manageable.
Kathleen sees therapy as a chance to slow down and notice what is working and what is not. She believes people have resilience and can grow, even when past trauma or long-standing patterns make change feel impossible. Conversations look at habits, behaviors, and feelings to find practical ways forward.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Kathleen aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and try new approaches without pressure. She uses therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy depending on what a person needs.
With three years of clinical experience and an LPC credential, she has helped people with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, parenting concerns, and codependency-related patterns. Kathleen describes herself as friendly, optimistic, and present in sessions.
People who choose her often want straightforward conversation, clear goals, and tools they can use between meetings. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure the fit works for their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotion and improving how people process and respond to feelings, which can be helpful for relationship and attachment concerns.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques based on what a person says is useful and what feels manageable between sessions.
The therapist biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering greater flexibility for scheduling around work or family responsibilities. Many people find online sessions useful for keeping momentum between in-person visits and for accessing licensed professionals in other locations.
