Kathleen Deleo, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kathleen!

I integrate mindfulness techniques into work with clients to enhance their self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and increase their resilience. I listen deeply, uplift the client's strengths, and encourage growth as we navigate the path toward healing.

My focus

I focus on supporting women navigating the complexities of anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Whether clients are balancing career demands, family responsibilities, or personal growth, I'm here to help women gain clarity, build resilience, and find greater joy in their daily lives.

My approach

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide how best to help you progress. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. I'll help you learn to challenge those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.

My communication style

I facilitate open communication and provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I help clients identify the root causes of current problems and lead them in developing strategies to decrease symptoms of anxiety and improve interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always enjoyed listening to others and helping them solve problems. This inspired me to pursue a degree in clinical social work.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to ask the client to take the lead in identifying the areas of life they want to improve, guiding the conversation to achieve their goals with my guidance and encouragement.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll start with a brief greeting and review any questions you have. Then, we'll discuss what factors or life events have been impacting your emotions lately. I may ask about your background, family experiences, and relationships to better understand how your past experiences may affect your current thoughts and feelings.
