About Kathy
Kathy Hurley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 23 years of experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, coping with life changes, and professional coaching.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people heal from past hurts and adjust to major life shifts.

Kathy also supports people who want coaching for career or leadership concerns and helps translate insights into action.
Her background includes long-term clinical work and coaching with professionals, which informs a pragmatic approach to problem solving. That experience helps when addressing complex issues such as caregiving strain, family of origin patterns, and the emotional impact of adoption or foster care.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, proven ways to reduce distress and build coping skills. For example, treatments that address trauma often include structured sessions where a person gently reviews painful memories, learns grounding strategies, and practices new responses to reminders of the trauma. Approaches used for grief and loss emphasize processing emotions, creating rituals or meaning, and planning practical steps to manage daily life as it changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. Please confirm which session formats are offered before you book, since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the day, and make it simpler to continue work during major life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support work on trauma, grief, depression, and coaching in ways that adapt to a person’s routine and needs.
