About Kathleen

Kathleen Curzon is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and intimacy-related struggles. Kathleen also addresses issues such as sleeping problems and compassion fatigue, including concerns tied to guilt and shame.

She keeps conversations focused and practical. Kathleen listens for patterns that link past attachment or family-of-origin issues to present behavior. From there she helps people name what they’re feeling and try small, testable changes in how they respond to difficult thoughts and memories.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and narrative work. That mix lets her address both current problems and the stories people tell themselves about who they are.

Sessions look at relationships, boundaries, and communication. Kathleen pays attention to how abandonment, attachment wounds, or prior trauma shape trust and intimacy. She also works with people managing serious life transitions such as caregiving, cancer, hospice, or aging-related concerns.

In the room she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. People can expect straightforward conversation about coping skills, thought patterns, and ways to reduce day-to-day distress. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed rather than being fixed from the start.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and patterns. Online work with attachment ideas can help people notice trust and closeness habits and try different ways of connecting in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and the person's own goals. In remote sessions this approach keeps the conversation grounded in what the person wants to change, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying rather than directing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and guilt alive. CBT techniques used online include identifying unhelpful thinking, experimenting with alternative responses, and building small behavioral steps to test new habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kathleen will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote work easier to fit into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can make it simpler to continue care during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools to work well at a distance while focusing on clear goals and everyday skills.
