As a licensed clinical psychologist in California with 18 years of professional experience, I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate life's challenges with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My extensive work has equipped me with the skills to support individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and anger management.
I believe that each person is unique, and I take great care in tailoring our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your specific needs. My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment modalities, ensuring that you receive the most effective support. For clients presenting with stress and anxiety, I often help individual's identify and reframe negative thought patterns, as well as utilize Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to cultivate a sense of calm and presence.
When working on relationship issues, I help couples and individuals strengthen their emotional bonds and improve communication. For parenting challenges, I help client's foster healthy family dynamics and build stronger, more resilient relationships between parents and children.
In addressing anger management, I integrate techniques to help clients develop healthier ways of expressing and managing their emotions. I believe in a collaborative process where we work together to achieve your goals and enhance your well-being.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can be an act of courage, and I am proud of you for beginning this journey. I am here to support you every step of the way, and I look forward to working together to create a path toward greater peace and fulfillment in your life.
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Guilt and shame, Social anxiety and phobia

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen Puleo. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kathleen has been the most positive force in my life. She has such a warm, uplifting and attentive approach. It is abundantly clear that she leads with expertise, and her desire to support her clients in a way that supports them in leading the lives they envision for themselves truly solidifies the importance of a therapist’s work. I have grown so much over the past few months working with her, and I could not recommend her enough! She has been a godsend and I feel so grateful to have been matched with her.

After having so many therapists leave this platform, I was matched with kathleen which I have to believe happened for a reason because she is the most attentive, active / proactive therapist Ive worked with. She is an expert in her field & combines her knowledge with compassion, if you get to work with her you will grow & heal no doubt about it.
