About Kathryn Klein
Kathryn Klein approaches therapy as a fellow human being offering professional support and practical guidance. She balances formal training and clinical experience with personal insight, drawing from both to listen attentively, reflect what she hears, and offer thoughtful feedback and possible solutions. Kathryn prefers a conversational style that centers the client - she listens, asks questions, and responds in a manner that feels collaborative rather than strictly formal.
She does not position herself as a conventional therapist and respects each person s right to choose the fit that feels best for them. If her style does not align with a client's needs, she encourages them to seek a different match; if a client is willing to try her approach, she invites them to share their story. Kathryn holds the credential LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - which indicates professional licensure to practice counseling in Illinois and reflects her clinical training and experience.
At this time Kathryn is not offering live sessions and provides care through asynchronous messaging only. This format allows clients to communicate in writing at times that suit their schedules while still receiving her reflective responses and guidance. She welcomes those who prefer a conversational, human-centered approach to explore working together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead, providing empathy and acceptance to help people explore their feelings and make meaningful choices - it is often helpful for improving self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and problem solving.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and attachment patterns within relationships. It helps people and couples understand emotional responses, improve communication, and repair connection after conflict or loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to each person's concerns and adapts techniques to fit their situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - many licensed professionals and therapists provide care by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. Kathryn s practice currently focuses on asynchronous messaging, which allows clients to write when it suits them and receive thoughtful responses over time while keeping the therapeutic work collaborative and focused.
