Kathleen Huddy

Kathleen Huddy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), a professional credential for counselors who are trained and licensed to provide mental health counseling. Her commitment to the helping profession is shaped in part by her own lived experience of having a physical disability, and she brings a strong sense of respect for each client’s strengths and individuality. She aims to support clients in moving toward their full, unique potential while honoring their values, needs, and choices.

Kathleen has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, and she approaches therapy as a collaborative process where she serves as an advocate and guide rather than someone who makes decisions for others. She focuses on helping people build self-advocacy and practical independence, especially during difficult situations and periods of transition.

Her clinical background includes a practicum in an outpatient setting primarily with children, as well as internships in an inpatient hospital setting serving people of all ages. She also has employment history providing outpatient therapy services since July 27th, 2020, continuing to refine her counseling skills in real-world practice.

In sessions, Kathleen draws from person-centered theory to build rapport and create a supportive working relationship. She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with therapeutic activities that can help clients express themselves, clarify needs, strengthen coping skills, and identify workable steps toward short-term and long-term goals. She provides individual and family outpatient therapy.
