Dr. Kathy Cox, LCSW

Dr. Kathy Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of clinical experience supporting adults through a wide range of challenges. She focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and listening carefully to each person to understand their needs, concerns, and goals for counseling. Drawing on a strengths-based approach, she helps clients identify and use their existing resources to move through difficulties and regain a sense of agency.

Dr. Cox brings experience working with younger, middle-aged, and older adults who face depressed or anxious moods, anger, grief and loss, relationship struggles, compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress, and trauma-related concerns. She is trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and integrates techniques from client-centered therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each individual. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which indicates advanced training and licensure in clinical social work.

Semi-retired from a career as a social work professor, Dr. Cox is also an author of two books - one about social work practice and another on self-care for professional counselors. Outside of her professional life she enjoys yoga, swimming, and spending time with her dogs. Widowed and the parent of three adult children, she brings both professional depth and life experience to her therapeutic work and welcomes the opportunity to support clients in their growth and healing.
