Kathryn DeLong, LMHC

Kathryn DeLong is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with five years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, and supports those exploring coaching and ADHD-related concerns. Kathryn aims to build a compassionate, steady space where people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She uses a person-centered approach that begins with the client’s own goals and life story. Sessions focus on practical steps and real-life problem solving rather than abstract theory. Kathryn blends talk-based work with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused approaches to help people manage symptoms and regain a sense of control.

Attachment-based ideas are woven into her work when relational patterns matter. That can help people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, or family-of-origin problems understand recurring patterns and try new ways of connecting. Solution-focused methods are used to identify immediate, achievable goals and move forward quickly when that fits the person’s needs.

Her background includes supporting people through chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, first responder stress, domestic violence, adoption and foster care related challenges, and coping after disasters. She treats these topics in a practical, respectful way that honors each person’s pace.

Kathryn works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC. To get started, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Kathryn uses this approach to help people notice and change repeated ways of relating, which can reduce feelings of abandonment and improve connection with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Kathryn uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and practice small behavioral changes that relieve anxiety and depression symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kathryn works collaboratively to match strategies to a person’s goals and preferences. She will check in about what is helping and what needs to change so therapy stays useful and focused.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist’s listed approaches translate well to remote conversations and goal-focused work that fits into a busy life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
