About Kathleen
Kathleen (Kathy) Malone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, motivation, parenting questions, and life transitions. Kathy also focuses on codependency and related issues that show up in close relationships.
In sessions she keeps conversations practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people name what feels most urgent. Conversations often include noticing patterns around boundaries, responses to stress, and how old family dynamics still affect daily choices.
Kathy draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and take small, manageable steps. She also uses mindfulness practices and Jungian ideas to help clients reflect on inner patterns and meaning. Trauma-focused techniques are available when past events shape current struggles.
People come for different reasons - a recent loss, trouble saying no, feeling empty after a life change, or worry about parenting under strain. Sessions can include exploring feelings, practicing new ways of speaking up, and setting realistic short-term goals. Kathy frames this as steady work, not quick fixes.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site’s matching tool.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps with motivation, life changes, and patterns like people-pleasing by emphasizing actions that align with what matters. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist, giving space for clients to lead conversation and set the pace. This approach supports work on self-esteem and parenting questions. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention practices and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with grief, anxiety, and codependency patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathy will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit current goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in together as therapy unfolds and adjusting techniques so sessions remain practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins, and let them use video or phone depending on what works best. Online sessions can make it simpler to continue regular appointments during life transitions, while keeping therapy tied to concrete goals and homework between meetings.
