About Kathy
Dr. Kathy Cox is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma. She aims to build a trusting relationship and listen closely to each person’s needs and goals. Her approach emphasizes practical steps people can use day to day and draws on strengths clients already have.
With 30 years of experience, Dr. Cox brings a steady, calm presence to sessions. She works with adults across the lifespan who face issues like burnout, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, relationship strain, anger, and shifts in life roles. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns.
Her clinical work uses client-centered methods along with cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people name thoughts and patterns, try new behaviors, and manage intense emotions more effectively. Sessions often include practical tools to practice between meetings.
Dr. Cox has an academic background as a semi-retired social work professor and has published two books, one on social work practice and one about self-care for counselors. Outside of work she enjoys yoga, swimming, and time with her dogs.
She is based in California and offers therapy in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
