About Kathleen

Kathleen Schofield is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. She has five years of experience helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and difficulties with self-esteem. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps and honest conversation.

Kathleen aims to make sessions a place to name what feels hard and try small, manageable changes. She listens for patterns that keep problems going, then helps clients test new ways of responding. Communication skills and clearer boundaries often come up as concrete goals.

Her work pays close attention to mood changes that follow the seasons and to struggles with body image and shame. She also supports people coping with loneliness, relationship problems, and questions about life purpose. Panic symptoms and ADHD-related challenges are within her focus areas.

Kathleen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means she relies on approaches shown to help with mood and anxiety concerns, then tailors them to each person. Progress usually looks like better day-to-day coping and stronger confidence in handling stress.

People who choose her often want a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that still feels compassionate. She helps set clear steps between sessions and checks in on what’s working. To begin, visitors are asked to use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule an initial session.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Kathleen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill-building and mood management. One common approach she uses helps people learn concrete coping strategies for anxiety and panic symptoms, such as breathing work, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and body image through exercises that challenge unhelpful self-talk and encourage kinder, more balanced self-reflection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen works together with each person to identify goals and trial methods that fit their needs and daily life. That collaborative process means adjustments are made as progress unfolds, and the plan can shift if something isn’t helping.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also offers a way to continue regular contact during seasonal shifts in mood or during periods of high stress. The therapist will explain the practical session options and help find a rhythm that fits your routine.
