About Kathleen
Kathleen Tilman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 31 years of professional experience, licensed in Florida and Nevada. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Kathleen also focuses on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.
She favors clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress and what feels stuck. Sessions typically look at current patterns of thinking and behavior and how those patterns affect mood and relationships. Kathleen uses practical tools to test new ways of responding to familiar problems. She aims to help people notice small changes that can ease daily stress.
Her background spans many settings across three decades of clinical work. That experience shapes a straightforward style that attends to both thoughts and internal parts of the self. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. Internal Family Systems work is used to understand different inner parts that hold emotions and beliefs.
When someone is facing a breakup, major life change, or a long-standing pattern of low confidence, she talks through options and possible next steps. The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between sessions. Kathleen invites questions about how therapy might fit into everyday life and what getting started would look like.

How CBT and Internal Family Systems work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills between sessions.Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience - for example, parts that protect or parts that feel hurt. The work helps people understand these parts and reduce internal conflict so they can make clearer choices about relationships and goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides whether CBT techniques, Internal Family Systems work, or a mix of both is used in sessions.
