About Kathleen

Kathleen Hove is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make sessions feel like a steady, compassionate conversation rather than a lecture. Her style is warm and direct, with room for empathy and a bit of humor when it fits.

With ten years of experience in mental health, Kathleen has worked with a range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

That background includes supporting people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship tension, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and ADHD-related struggles. Kathleen draws on several counseling approaches to meet people where they are.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients name values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one tool she may use for trauma-related symptoms.

Her sessions emphasize collaboration. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and works with them to set goals that matter. People can expect clear tools, grounded conversation, and support for building safety and steady routine.

Kathleen holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as LCSW, and also holds CSW. She practices from Minnesota and offers work that centers practical coping skills alongside emotional processing.

How Kathleen's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are hard. It focuses on values and practical steps rather than arguing with feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep someone stuck and teaches straightforward skills to test and change those patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method used to process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma symptoms are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and current challenges. She will check in about what feels helpful and adjust strategies over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from their chosen location. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, brief coaching, or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
