Kathleen emphasizes helping people spot unhelpful thinking and build small, manageable changes. Kathleen earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Houston–Victoria in 2004. She has worked in counseling roles across school and clinical settings and brings 19 years of experience to her practice.
Her background includes long experience as a school counselor and many years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas.

How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters most to them before choosing next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, ADHD-related stress, and everyday coping by breaking issues into concrete steps and homework between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. Those short practices often support work on stress, anger, or concentration challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, problem-focused CBT strategies, or brief mindfulness exercises based on goals and preferences.
Online sessions can fit your life in several ways. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation when you want visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem solving, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and try different formats to see what helps most.
