Kathleen Dodson

Hello, I'm Kathleen Dodson. Trials and tribulations do not discriminate. Life can be tough, but I believe that those same trials that can break us can also grow us. Since 2016, I've been dedicated to helping individuals navigate their unique journeys through social work/counseling. I graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and now reside in Southern Maryland with my two young boys

My areas of specialization include addiction, anxiety, depression, grief/bereavement, life transitions, medical issues/physical health, spirituality, and stress. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our sessions, ensuring you receive the support and guidance you need.

Outside of my professional life, I cherish my time with my two young boys and enjoy the vibrant community in Southern Maryland. I understand the complexities of balancing personal and professional life and bring this empathy into my practice.

If you're ready to embark on a journey towards healing and growth, I would be honored to support you. Let's work together to navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories along the way.

I believe that one of the most important components of therapy is having rapport with my clients. We are all unique, and there is no one correct approach to healing. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behavior are connected. Additionally, I believe it is crucial to address the body, spirit, and mind, as there are many parts that make us who we are. My client-centered approach allows you to take the lead in your journey because no one knows you better than yourself. I'm here to walk alongside you, helping you reach your destination.

During our first session, I will provide a warm and safe environment for you to share with me your background and concerns, as well as what you are hoping to achieve during our time together.
