Kathleen Sutton , LCPC, LPC

Kathleen Sutton is a licensed counselor who helps women facing life changes, low self-esteem, and the fallout from difficult relationships. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a background in parenting education to each conversation. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find steady ground and clearer direction.

Kathleen uses a strengths-based, client-centered stance. She listens first, then helps people name what matters to them. Sessions can include talk, mindfulness practices, gentle body-centered activities, and creative exercises when helpful. No art experience is required to benefit from expressive methods.

She has worked in many settings including outpatient groups, residential programs, assisted living, correctional facilities, and community art therapy collectives. That practical variety shaped an adaptable approach to common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and burnout. Kathleen also supports those navigating aging and caregiver stress.

In the therapy room she focuses on building a trusting relationship and on practical steps that can be used between sessions. She offers psychoeducation, coping skills, and tools to increase emotional regulation and self-compassion. The work often combines talking, somatic awareness, and creative expression to help release stuck feelings.

Kathleen holds licenses as an LCPC and an LPC and practices in Nevada. She works with adults on a range of issues including trauma, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Her goal is to help people uncover strengths and move toward a more resilient sense of self.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and offers practical skills to change unhelpful habits. Both approaches can be used alongside client-centered listening and gentle somatic or creative practices to address anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and life transitions.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapy process. Kathleen works collaboratively to match techniques to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. She will discuss options and experiment with approaches so the client and therapist can see what helps most.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided mindfulness or art activities. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
