About Kathleen

Kathleen Wright is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina who helps people manage a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and substance use.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience, she supports clients facing mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, impulsivity, attention-related challenges such as ADHD, and the complex picture of co-occurring conditions. Her work emphasizes a person-focused stance that honors each client's story and strengths.

Kathleen blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques to address post-traumatic stress, disruptive mood dysregulation patterns, family problems, and problems that commonly affect young adults and women. She aims to create an empathic space where practical coping strategies and longer-term growth can develop.

Clients can expect treatment informed by several therapeutic methods, applied in ways that match individual goals and life circumstances. Kathleen accepts international clients and conducts sessions through multiple online formats, adapting her approach to fit different schedules and communication preferences while maintaining a collaborative, goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.

Approaches for online healing and practical change

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and tailoring care to each person's unique needs, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and mood instability. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational approach that helps people find internal motivation for change, particularly useful when addressing addictions, ambivalence, or readiness to adopt new coping strategies.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process rather than a one-time decision. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and treatment goals and then adapts methods over time so care aligns with what is most helpful for the individual.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels while still receiving guided, professional support.
