About me

Hello! My name is Kathleen Connolly. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 10 years. I have worked in a variety of settings with a wide diversity of populations. My clients have ranged in age from 22- 104. Much of my work has been helping people who are challenged with personal transitions and the many emotions that accompany them. This has included work, relationship, aging, and caregiver issues. I have also helped people with depression, anxiety and low self- esteem issues. Change is difficult but inevitable. You don’t have to go through it alone. I am here to help.
I believe the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist is the most important aspect of therapy. I see therapy as journey of self-discovery for each client. I can help guide you through your journey to a better understanding of your strengths and weakness. I will help empower you to make the most of your strengths and help you successfully meet your challenges.
Please Note :
It is very important to me that I set all of my appointments. At this time I have limited availability, especially in the evenings that is subject to change.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen Connolly. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Kathleen always listens to me and actively engages in our sessions. She remembers things that I even forget and reminds me how far I’ve come when I feel stagnant. I always look forward to our sessions.

Working with Kathleen has been really different to any other therapist I've seen before. She intuitively listens, validates, and brings insight and perspective to whatever you discuss with care and compassion. I've experienced real positive change in the several months I've been working with her, and the worksheets she uses have been super helpful.

Intelligent, kind and nurturing. Someone I feel comfortable sharing things that I don't feel comfortable sharing with even my closest friends! Thank you Kathleen for your support and great advice!
