Kathleen Sutton , LCPC, LPC

Kathleen Sutton is a transpersonal psychotherapist and registered art therapist with over 11 years of clinical experience. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials, indicating state licensure to practice clinical counseling, and has worked across multiple care settings including residential treatment centers, outpatient group practices, correctional facilities, assisted living facilities, and community-based art therapy programs.

Before moving into clinical practice, she spent many years as a parenting coach and educator, and she has supported people ranging in age from three to ninety-three in individual, family, and group formats. Her work emphasizes strengths, authenticity, and an empathic therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing and personal growth.

Kathleen has a particular interest in supporting women seeking empowerment, individuals rebuilding self-esteem after abusive relationships, and those navigating major life transitions including aging. Her approach combines mindfulness, trauma-informed talk therapy, body-based somatic techniques, and expressive arts therapies to help clients access insight, express difficult feelings, and process trauma that may be held in the nervous system and body.

She also offers psychoeducation and practical strategies to promote self-acceptance, improved self-regulation, and sustainable self-care. Kathleen aims to meet each person with respect and curiosity while helping them uncover and strengthen their inherent capacity for resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and teaches practical skills for taking committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life changes by increasing psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that form early in life and how those patterns affect current connections. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and healing from abandonment or family-of-origin wounds by strengthening secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an authentic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead. This humanistic approach supports self-discovery, self-esteem, and personal growth, and it pairs well with expressive arts and mindfulness techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as those needs change.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling, continuity of care across locations, and multiple ways to engage with therapy that can suit different comfort levels and life demands. These formats allow licensed professionals to tailor interventions so therapy can be accessible and responsive to each person's circumstances.
