About Kathleen
LCSW Kathleen Nealon has 12 years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. Kathleen speaks English and Haitian Creole and uses a mix of practical strategies rather than one fixed method.
Kathleen listens and helps people sort what feels most pressing. She adapts her approach to the person's needs, personality, and goals. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps that can be used between meetings as well as on understanding how past events affect present life.
Her work often draws from psychodynamic ideas, systems thinking, solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to identify patterns, set short-term goals, and change unhelpful thought and behavior habits. Trauma-informed principles guide how she approaches difficult histories and stressful events.
Her previous roles include time working cross-culturally, including five years in Haiti, and experience supporting people in recovery, transitional housing, hospice care, and post-disaster settings. That background informs how she recognizes practical barriers and cultural differences when planning care.
Sessions emphasize building a steady working relationship and using strengths people already have. People who prefer a therapist who combines direct strategies with reflective conversation may find her style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeating patterns from their past and understand how those patterns affect current relationships and feelings. This approach can be useful for grief, long-term mood concerns, and relationship issues. Systems thinking looks at how family, work, and community relationships interact with a person’s problems and helps identify practical changes to those interactions.Solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques are action-oriented. Solution-focused work narrows in on small, achievable goals and on what changes quickly help. Cognitive behavioral techniques target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That selection may change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth alternatives, depending on the formats offered. Licensed professionals can discuss which format will work best during the initial scheduling process.
