About Kathleen
Kathleen Slee is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She uses straightforward, compassionate support to help clients find more balance and meaning in daily life. Her practice focuses on practical strategies and steady listening.
Sessions often center on understanding what feels most urgent, learning tools to manage mood and anxiety, and slowly processing painful events. Kathleen mixes approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on one fixed method.
Background and approach
She brings six years of clinical experience in New Mexico to her work. That background includes supporting people through illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care questions, and midlife transitions. Kathleen also addresses concerns like obsessive thoughts, codependency, and family-of-origin issues.
Therapy sessions include clear steps and goals. Clients can expect collaborative planning, skill-building for day-to-day coping, and time to tell their story without rush. She pays attention to how practical changes and small habits can improve mood and resilience.
Many clients come for help with grief, divorce and separation, or end-of-life planning and hospice-related stress. Kathleen also supports people managing chronic pain, intellectual disability concerns in context, and the emotional weight of caregiving. Her aim is steady, patient work that fits each person’s pace and life circumstances.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's lead. It focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and building a therapeutic relationship that supports change and healing.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It provides practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress happens. That means sessions can shift between talking, skill practice, and focused exercises depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or to work through brief concerns without scheduling a full video visit. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
