Kathleen (Kathy) Malone, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Kathleen

Kathleen (Kathy) Malone is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience working with people facing life transitions. She focuses on practical help for issues like grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and parenting. Kathy approaches each person with respect and compassion.

She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported. Her background includes a variety of settings where she helped people cope with loss and major life shifts.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each client. Sessions are tailored so the work connects to real daily challenges and goals. Kathy draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people build values-driven choices and clearer self-understanding.

She also integrates Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit the situation. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect present life. Kathy explains options and crafts a plan with each person rather than imposing a single method.

This collaborative style keeps the work practical and focused on steps that matter at home and work. She is based in Missouri and offers services for people seeking help with relationships, family topics, parenting, career shifts, and related concerns. Her aim is to help clients find clearer direction and more ease in daily life.

Kathy supports people through difficult periods and helps them move toward goals at a pace that feels right.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward a meaningful life even when hard feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and help people notice choices in daily moments.

Kathy works with clients to find which approach, or mix of approaches, fits best. She explains options and discusses goals together so the plan aligns with each person’s needs and preferences. The therapeutic path is chosen collaboratively rather than fixed in advance.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow the work to fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to follow through between sessions and to access help from different locations. The variety of formats supports continuity of care and flexibility while working toward practical changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
