Kathlena ReedLMHC

Kathlena Reed is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood changes, and pregnancy- and childbirth-related concerns such as postpartum depression.

Her sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build skills. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck about change. Trauma-focused work is used when past hurts are part of current struggles.

Clients can expect clear goal-setting and skill practice between meetings. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviors, and coping strategies that fit daily life. When substance use or co-occurring conditions are present, she offers focused care that addresses both issues together.

Reed also spends time mentoring newer clinicians as a Qualified Supervisor, which keeps her practice connected to current, evidence-informed methods. She holds a Master of Arts and maintains a patient-centered, nonjudgmental approach.

She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. People interested in exploring treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, addiction, or the emotional impacts around pregnancy and childbirth can begin by learning about her process and deciding if the style feels like a good fit.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In an online setting, sessions focus on skill building, practical worksheets, and real-life practice that can be reviewed between meetings.

DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. Online sessions often include coaching on using those skills in daily moments and planning how to try new strategies between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that supports people who feel uncertain about change. It helps clarify values and build internal motivation before making concrete plans.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.

If you are considering online care, confirm available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and motivational techniques effectively to remote formats, focusing on practical tools clients can use between sessions.
