Kathleen Stevens, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Kathleen

Kathleen Stevens is a licensed clinical social worker with over 31 years of practice based in Florida. She offers a direct, approachable style and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her tone in sessions is warm and interactive, and she often uses light humor to ease difficult conversations.

She practices using Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes practical steps toward clear goals. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, doable actions that move them forward.

Background and approach

Kathleen adapts plans as needed so the work stays relevant to each person’s situation. Her work covers a broad set of concerns including relationship struggles, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, career and workplace issues, and family-related topics. She also addresses specific areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, and post-traumatic stress.

Kathleen listens for strengths and helps clients notice resources they already have. Sessions aim to build clarity and momentum rather than only reviewing problems. The method is practical: set goals, try small changes, and check what works.

Kathleen believes many people find progress faster than they expect once they see concrete steps to try. She offers services in English and practices under the FL LCSW licence SW7041. People who prefer a straightforward, goal-oriented approach often find her style helpful.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Sessions

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, practical steps that lead toward a client's goals. The work emphasizes what is already working and builds on those strengths, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

In practice the therapist asks about clear goals, notices existing resources, and helps clients try short experiments between sessions. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted. This keeps sessions focused and action-oriented for people who want tangible change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor the style and pace. Together they decide whether to continue with a solution-focused path or adapt methods as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit quieter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging help maintain momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep working on goals no matter where someone is located within the therapist’s service area.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
