Hi there, my name is Kathy Pratt and I am a licensed clinical social worker, substance abuse professional, and a certified clinical supervisor. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field in a clinical setting. I have worked with inpatient hospital clients as well as outpatient. I have an expertise in drug and alcohol and dual diagnosis issues as well as anxiety ,depression and family issues. My style is warm and supportive and I am willing to challenge you to think and participate in your treatment. My primary modality is cognitive behavioral therapy, rationale emotive therapy, reality therapy and attachment theory.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen "Kathy" Pratt. 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.
I am not new to counseling/therapy, however it has been many years since I have had a counselor/therapist and I was hesitant to start back again. Due to circumstances that have spiraled out of control in my life right now I knew it was time.
Kathy has made my transition back into counseling/therapy welcoming and exciting.
I look forward to our sessions every week. Kathy actively listens and gives thought provoking and encouraging feedback. This has allowed me to change my perspective and practice healthly habits to better balance myself.
Kathy also is a team player by, with my permission of course, communicating between my team of doctors, which is a huge plus, since communication is key to a successful plan and bill of health.

Kathy is great! Since I started seeing her on a weekly basis, she has never once been late. She is knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in the issues I was looking for, she is kind and easy to talk to, and she has good advice based in facts.
Also, she did not hesitate to make her self available for multiple sessions during one specifically difficult week.
I am so happy I got matched with Kathy!
