About Kitty Bartley

Kitty Bartley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who has spent many years helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and steadiness. She began her career as a social worker in Ohio and later continued her professional path in Florida, where she has practiced as an LMHC. Her work is shaped by both training and lived experience, including her own time in therapy and the meaningful changes it supported.

Through education and the therapeutic process, Kitty learned practical skills and techniques for moving through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Today, she brings that same focus into her counseling, aiming to offer clients useful tools they can keep using long after sessions end. She works with people who want to shift unhelpful internal patterns, interrupt negative self-talk, and build healthier, more supportive ways of thinking.

Kitty’s goal is to help clients “reprogram” the recurring scripts that can hold them back, and to strengthen new habits of thought that feel more positive and sustainable. With an approach that emphasizes learning and applying real-world strategies, she supports clients in understanding how the mind works and in developing techniques that can be practiced over time.

Practical approaches, flexible online support

Kitty Bartley draws from structured and values-based methods that help clients build skills they can use in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice more balanced responses, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or low mood start to take over day-to-day routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts or feelings while still taking steps toward what matters most to them. Rather than getting stuck in an internal struggle, clients learn to clarify values and choose actions that fit their goals, even when life feels challenging.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships. It can be a helpful fit for people who want concrete strategies to stay grounded during emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kitty works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that matches your schedule and comfort level.
