Kathryn DeLong , LMHC

Kathryn DeLong is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coaching, and ADHD. Kathryn aims to create a calm space where people feel listened to and respected from the first contact.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her rather than a fixed protocol. Sessions are shaped by what each person brings, their life story, and their short- and long-term goals. She uses practical tools and clear discussion to help clients manage symptoms and make daily life feel more manageable.

Kathryn draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective habits. Trauma-focused methods are used when painful experiences need careful processing and stabilization.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, paced to what feels tolerable. Kathryn blends coaching-style feedback with therapeutic listening to support changes in work, relationships, and self-care. Progress is measured in small steps and new skills practiced between appointments.

She offers sessions in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape trust, closeness, and boundaries today; online sessions can help identify these patterns and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-focused methods aim to stabilize responses to past harm and then gently process painful memories when a person feels ready.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will talk with each person about their history, goals, and what feels most helpful, then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust pace and focus as progress unfolds so the work fits real life and current needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when that is useful, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping steady momentum in therapy.
