Getting to know Kathleen Pear

Hello. My name is Kathleen Pear. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Northern California with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland. I work with adult clients statewide via telehealth who are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and loss. I am committed to supporting my clients through their challenges and helping them improve their emotional well-being and find joy and purpose in their lives. My approach My approach to therapy is eclectic—primarily supportive and client-centered, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and positive psychology modalities. The client-centered approach helps us develop an understanding of your concerns and move forward together in partnership. My focus I frequently work with adult clients in midlife and older who are struggling with life changes, transitions, health concerns, and loss and may be suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I want to help clients recognize their strengths, develop new skills, and have a more positive perspective to navigate challenges and overcome difficulties. My communication style I want my clients to feel comfortable and safe in therapy, unconditionally accepted, respected, supported, and never judged. I present with a warm, gentle, calm manner and a positive outlook. My journey to mental healthcare I have always found joy and satisfaction in helping people with problems and concerns and making them feel better about themselves and more hopeful about their situations. I feel empathy and compassion toward people and connect easily with them. I want to make a difference in people’s lives. Clinical social work and psychotherapy were a natural match for my strengths and passion for helping. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership built on trust. I actively listen to understand your challenges and help identify and prioritize your concerns.
