About Kathleen
Kathleen Grisez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. Kathleen centers sessions on the client's perspective and strengths to address current problems.
Kathleen listens for what matters most to each person and helps them notice patterns that keep problems going. She works with common issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. She also addresses life transitions like divorce or fertility-related strain and challenges like isolation or midlife questions.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical conversation to identify small changes that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. She pays attention to how relationships, past hurts, and current stressors interact. The work is collaborative - she and the client set goals and try steps between sessions.
People often come for help with intense emotions such as guilt, shame, emptiness, or grief after infidelity. Kathleen also supports those coping with disruptive mood patterns, body image struggles, and the fallout from disasters. She frames difficult feelings as understandable reactions that can be addressed piece by piece.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Services are delivered in English and follow the LMFT scope of practice in California. The subscription-based session fee varies with location and can be canceled at any time.

How Kathleen applies evidence-based methods in online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear steps and observable changes. One common approach emphasizes examining thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This method helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try new, practical responses to stress.Another common technique looks at relationships and attachment patterns. It helps people understand how earlier relationships influence current feelings and interactions. This approach is useful for intimacy issues, codependency, and problems with trust or abandonment.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try a method that fits. Progress is reviewed over time and approaches are adjusted as needed to match what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling around work or family commitments simpler. Licensed professionals often find online work helps maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult; discuss format preferences when you schedule your first appointment.
