About Kathleen

Kathleen Hove brings a decade of clinical experience to her work, drawing on evidence-based methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and related challenges.

Background and approach

Kathleen, LCSW, CSW, frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person's lived experience while using practical interventions to reduce suffering and build resilience. She is especially drawn to fear-based symptoms and trauma-related concerns and incorporates approaches that target those patterns.

Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental presence paired with therapeutic strategies such as cognitive and emotion-focused techniques and trauma-informed interventions. Kathleen has worked with a range of emotional, mental, and behavioral difficulties across different age groups and family contexts, and she values helping people restore a sense of safety and agency.

Her style blends empathy, compassion, and occasional lightness when appropriate to support progress toward meaningful change.

Integrating evidence-based approaches through online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful steps even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings arise, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Kathleen approaches treatment as a collaborative exploration, recognizing that the right combination of methods often emerges through conversation and experimentation. She works with clients to identify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques from these models to fit each person's needs rather than prescribing a single fixed method.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with her emphasizes flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow clients to continue consistent care from wherever they are located in Minnesota. Licensed professionals can tailor session frequency and format to support steady progress while accommodating practical life demands.
