About Kathleen

Kathleen Hove is a licensed clinical social worker who uses evidence-based therapies to help people manage anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She brings ten years of experience in mental health and aims to build safety and stability for each person she meets. Clients can expect a warm and nonjudgmental presence in sessions.

Kathleen blends empathy and a bit of humor while listening closely to what matters to each person. She treats fear-based symptoms such as anxiety and trauma and also helps with depression, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and stress-related fatigue.

Background and approach

Her work draws on approaches that focus on thoughts, emotions, and values. She uses practical strategies people can try between sessions, and she adapts those tools to fit each person’s daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one of the methods she incorporates when trauma processing is appropriate.

Kathleen emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and partners with them to set goals and priorities. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Her background includes a range of settings across Minnesota and nearby regions. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and has worked with adults facing domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. She conducts sessions in English and tailors care to the concerns people bring.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by worry. It is often useful for anxiety, life transitions, and low motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood through small experiments and homework.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used as a way to process traumatic memories when appropriate. It aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events so people can move forward with less reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen partners with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration guides which exercises and techniques are prioritized in sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and EMDR-style processing when recommended. Phone sessions can be easier on limited bandwidth or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or fit short check-ins into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around everyday life.
