About Kathleen

Kathleen Sutton is a licensed psychotherapist who brings 11 years of clinical experience to people seeking help with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and family challenges, ADHD, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches work from a strengths-based, client-centered stance that emphasizes an authentic therapeutic relationship and practical tools for self-regulation and resilience. Kathleen’s background includes roles as a parenting coach and educator as well as experience in residential treatment, outpatient practice, correctional settings, assisted living, and community art therapy programs.

Her style blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, and dialectical skills with attachment-informed perspectives and expressive arts techniques. Kathleen often integrates mindfulness, somatic work, and trauma-aware approaches to help clients access emotions, build emotional regulation, and process difficult experiences held in the body.

She offers psychoeducation and collaborative planning to support clearer goals, improved self-care, and strengthened coping skills. Kathleen is licensed as an LCPC and LPC and practices in Nevada, bringing an empathetic, validation-focused presence aimed at helping people reconnect with their strengths and find workable paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build concrete skills for mood and anxiety management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support people dealing with intense emotions and relational conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels most helpful in early sessions, adapting methods as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows sessions to fit into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These formats can increase flexibility for scheduling, make follow-up between sessions easier, and support ongoing skill practice while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
