Kenneth Catalanotte , LCSW

Kenneth Catalanotte is a retired licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of counseling experience. Over the course of his career he spent the last ten years working for the Veteran's Administration, supporting veterans who struggled with severe trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms. He has also worked extensively with women recovering from histories of trauma, helping them rebuild a sense of control and direction in their lives.

In addition to trauma work, he has supported individuals facing everyday challenges who need guidance and steady support through difficult periods. He views therapy as a collaborative partnership and prefers to work alongside clients rather than treating them as passive patients who are simply told what to do. His style emphasizes empowering people to solve problems and make changes at a pace that fits their goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kenneth Catalanotte

Kenneth draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide each session - this approach helps people who need support regaining autonomy and making values-based choices. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. When appropriate, elements of psychodynamic therapy are used to explore longstanding patterns and how early experiences influence present relationships and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kenneth works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time rather than applying a single technique from the start.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of their daily lives.
