About
Kitty Bartley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, and she brings many years of experience to her work with adults navigating life’s challenges. Her professional path began as a social worker in Ohio, and over time she transitioned into counseling, where she now focuses on helping people build practical, lasting skills for everyday life.
Her interest in the therapy process is also personal. After seeking counseling for her own life struggles and experiencing meaningful, positive change, she chose to pursue this field so she could offer others the same kind of support and growth. Through training, education, and real-world practice, she has developed tools and techniques aimed at helping clients move through difficult seasons with more clarity and confidence.
Kitty’s goal is to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful inner messages into healthier, more constructive thinking patterns. She often describes this as “reprogramming” the brain - learning to update negative scripts so they no longer run the show. With an emphasis on usable strategies, she works to equip clients with skills they can rely on long after therapy ends.

Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Kitty Bartley draws from several well-established therapy methods to help clients shift patterns that feel stuck and build skills that carry into everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially helpful for noticing unhelpful thinking habits and practicing more balanced, workable ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or low mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. Instead of getting pulled into an internal fight, ACT supports clients in clarifying values and choosing actions that align with the life they want to live.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is skills-focused and often centers on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a strong fit for people who want concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kitty collaborates with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the work to match those needs over time.
Online therapy can make that support easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or simply fitting therapy into real life.
