About Kathleen

Kathleen McCarthy is a psychotherapist licensed in Wisconsin as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a credential that reflects advanced training in clinical social work and therapeutic practice. She brings 34 years of experience working with adults, couples, teenagers, children, and families, supporting people through a wide range of life challenges and transitions.

Her clinical focus centers on trauma treatment, with particular emphasis on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a core modality for addressing traumatic memories and their effects. In addition, she holds advanced training and certification in hypnotherapy, integrating this approach when appropriate to address patterns of behavior, stress responses, and goals related to wellness.

Kathleen uses a holistic framework that considers mind, body, and spirit, and she is committed to helping clients explore the thoughts and behaviors that may be limiting their progress. She has a strong interest in health and wellness and works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps toward their life ambitions, drawing on her training to tailor interventions to each person or family she serves.

EMDR, Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness in Online Care

EMDR is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories so that those memories lose some of their intensity and emotional charge. It is commonly used for trauma-related concerns and for people who find that certain memories continue to shape their daily functioning.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help explore underlying patterns, shift unhelpful habits, and support changes in thinking and behavior. It can be useful for addressing anxiety, stress responses, and behavioral goals when used alongside other therapeutic work.

Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and practical skills for noticing thoughts and emotions without immediate reactivity. It can help with stress management, mood regulation, and building coping strategies for daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen McCarthy collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible options for working together, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These modalities make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life and to maintain continuity of care across distances, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent treatment tailored to each client.
