About Kathryn
Dr. Kathryn (Kitty) Klee is an Illinois LCPC with 33 years of professional experience. She works with adults on family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, coping with life changes, and relationship challenges. She also addresses ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
Kitty frames the client as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths a person already has and uses them to tackle current problems. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps people can take between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of common life stresses. That history informs a flexible approach to problems like sleep disruption, career strain, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and blended family issues.
In the room she draws on several therapy methods depending on the need. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the persons priorities central. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are used when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are a focus.
People who reach out should expect a practical, grounded conversation about goals. The first sessions clarify what matters most and set small, doable steps. To begin, visitors are asked to use the online matching flow and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and keeps the client's priorities central so people can choose the changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers clear exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting when anxiety, depression, or sleep problems are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps settle on techniques that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Confirm the exact session formats before you book, since the practitioners biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone in ways that match their day-to-day routine. Ask about session length and whether a shorter or longer visit would work better for your current demands.
