About Kathleen

Kathleen Corona is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of hands-on experience. She practices in Florida and approaches therapy in a direct, practical way. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and relationship concerns.

Parents and adults often come to her looking for help with sleep, anger, or coping with life changes. Her work blends talk therapy with skills training. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices when helpful.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple exercises, breathing or grounding techniques, and clear steps to try between meetings. Kathleen describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals and pick tools that match their needs.

That can mean focusing on behavior change one week and emotions the next. She also brings attention to broader concerns like grief, trauma, addictions, body image, and multicultural issues. Her background includes years of direct service across multiple states and a focus on family and parenting issues among her specialties.

Practical matters are part of the work. Kathleen supports clients in building routines, improving communication, and finding ways to manage stress so daily life feels more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for strong mood swings, anger, or problems with impulsivity and stress management.

Kathleen works with clients to choose approaches that fit their situation. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Finding the right method is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy makes these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Clients can practice skills between sessions and check in in ways that fit busy family schedules. The variety of formats helps keep therapy flexible for different routines and time zones, and supports consistent progress even when meeting in person is difficult.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
