Kylene Dalton-Koons, LMSW

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin - even when things look "fine" on the outside? I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, and burnout, as well as children and teens struggling with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Many of my adult clients are high-functioning, yet feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or unable to shut their minds off. Parents often seek support for themselves or their children/teens when their child’s anxiety or OCD begins interfering with school, relationships, or daily routines. My approach blends evidence-based practices such as CBT (including ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with a warm, collaborative process that puts you back on the road to becoming your true, authentic self. I also believe in the importance of using both our minds and bodies to heal, and like to incorporate somatic techniques in session. The willow tree is a guiding symbol for our practice. Willows are deeply rooted yet flexible, able to bend during storms without breaking. In therapy, we work to strengthen your roots—your sense of safety, confidence, and self-trust—while gently supporting growth and change at a pace that feels right. Reaching out for help is hard. If you’re ready to take the next step, or perhaps just considering what that might look like, I can offer a steady, compassionate place to begin. Reach out today.
