About Kathleen
Kathleen Zayas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of clinical experience in Florida. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and navigate relationship and parenting challenges. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate.
Kathleen aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through hard things. Kathleen focuses on practical skills and clearer communication so daily life feels more manageable.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and tailors sessions to each person’s situation. Her work often addresses family conflict, caregiver stress, and the strain of parenting. She also supports people dealing with control issues, isolation, or the fallout from divorce and separation.
ADHD is one of the concerns she lists among her specialties. Therapeutic tools draw on approaches like acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people notice thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and try small changes between sessions.
Kathleen sees therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set realistic goals and checks in about what is or isn’t working. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How Kathleen uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety and daily stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people handle conflict and relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen collaborates with each client to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for a full-session conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, brief exchanges between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats as needs change.
