About Kathlene
Kathlene Pendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She supports clients dealing with relationship strain, addiction recovery, and life transitions. Her work also includes attention to issues like ADHD, caregiver stress, and money and financial issues.
Kathlene uses a collaborative style in sessions. She focuses on understanding each person's situation and building practical coping skills. Conversations center on small, manageable changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Her approach blends evidence-based methods with mindfulness and emotion-focused work. That means sessions often include learning ways to notice difficult feelings, try new behaviors, and improve close relationships. Her style aims to make these techniques useful in real life, not just in theory.
People often bring concerns about self-esteem, anger, intimacy, or career stress. Kathlene also addresses topics like forgiveness, guilt, and compassion fatigue. She works with mood disorders, eating concerns, and parenting stress while keeping goals concrete and realistic.
With eight years of experience, Kathlene emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what matters most to them. If money and financial issues are adding to your stress, she can help you talk through the emotional side of those problems and develop coping strategies.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It often involves practical exercises and skill practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, which can help with intense emotions and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first few sessions she typically checks what is helping and adjusts the plan so it fits the client’s life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during transitions. Some formats also let people do brief phone check-ins or use video for longer sessions, which can help when time or bandwidth varies. Discuss scheduling and what works best when you start the matching process.
