About Kathleen

Kathleen Zayas is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and attention-related concerns. Kathleen works to make the first step easier and more manageable for someone who is nervous about reaching out for help.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Background and approach

Conversations are steady and straightforward, aimed at recognizing what matters most and deciding on small, realistic changes. Kathleen combines emotional awareness with hands-on strategies so people can feel more in control day to day. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful emotional patterns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build coping skills and change patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. Mindfulness techniques are added when slowing down and noticing the present moment will help. Over the years Kathleen has supported people facing caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, divorce or separation, and the loneliness that sometimes follows major life changes.

She also addresses control issues, forgiveness work, and the impact of narcissistic dynamics. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and small steps toward relief. Therapy sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

Online support

How Kathleen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice the emotions behind recurring patterns and try new ways of relating. Online sessions can support this work by giving space to slow down, name feelings, and practice new responses in real time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts. It pairs well with online tools for tracking actions between sessions and checking in by message or chat.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Short phone check-ins or text messaging can be used for brief skill practice between video sessions.

Finding the right fit is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose which approaches to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, quick skill reminders, or when someone prefers written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while working on the same evidence-based methods used in traditional care.
