About Kathryn

Dr. Kathryn (Kitty) Klee brings 33 years of clinical experience as an Illinois-licensed LCPC who helps people navigate relationship and life challenges.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and draws on their existing strengths to address concerns such as family conflict, parenting struggles, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, trauma, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, career challenges, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Her background also includes work with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and other complex presentations. Her style emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, meeting people where they are and building practical skills alongside deeper exploration of meaning and connection.

She integrates client-centered methods with cognitive and emotion-focused tools, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs and goals. Prospective clients in Illinois who are seeking an experienced, supportive clinician will find a practitioner who balances validation with active strategies for change, helping them take courageous steps toward clearer priorities and a more fulfilling daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and the flexibility of online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building on their strengths; it involves active listening, empathy, and support to help clients clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and self-management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine methods over time so the treatment fits the individual's situation rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options make it easier to schedule care around work and family commitments and to continue therapy when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing therapists to provide consistent guidance, skills practice, and emotional support.
