About Dr. Kathleen "Kathy" Meeks

Dr. Kathleen "Kathy" Meeks is a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with individuals, couples, and families using a whole-person approach that considers the mind, body, and spirit. She integrates spirituality into the healing process when it is meaningful to the client, recognizing that spiritual beliefs and values can influence relationships, identity, and everyday coping.

Her work draws from a range of evidence-informed interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method. When trauma is complex or not yet fully within a client’s awareness, she may also incorporate additional methods such as Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy, or Somatic Experiencing, always selecting interventions based on the client’s needs and goals.

Dr. Meeks prioritizes helping each client move toward stronger day-to-day functioning and a more satisfying quality of life. When concerns fall outside her scope of practice, she may coordinate care by referring to other medical professionals, such as a psychiatrist or urologist. She is committed to supporting change for individuals and families through a tailored, compassionate therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Tools, Matched to You - Online

Dr. Kathleen "Kathy" Meeks draws from several approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which many people find useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering structured strategies for intense feelings, conflict, and impulsive reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape connection, trust, and intimacy, supporting clients who want healthier relationship patterns and stronger communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Meeks collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then tailors interventions to fit the client’s needs and pace. The process can shift over time as new insights emerge and priorities change.

Online therapy adds flexibility while keeping care consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay connected between appointments, reflect on challenges as they come up, and practice skills in real life.
