    About Kathryn

    Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and parenting or family challenges. Kathryn takes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach and centers the person's own goals in each session.

    She uses a collaborative style that mixes empathy with straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on practical steps and the client’s strengths rather than labels or unsolicited advice. Kathryn emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented work while still making space for deeper healing around trauma and loss.

    Motivational Interviewing appears in her toolbox to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to calm anxiety and support clearer decision-making. Solution-focused methods help turn goals into small, doable actions.

    Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as addictions, sexual assault and abuse, blended family issues, foster and adoption matters, workplace stress, and young adult transitions. Kathryn draws on that experience to offer practical strategies and emotional support.

    Sessions are aimed at whatever a person needs next, whether that is brief coaching to get back on track or ongoing work to process trauma. Kathryn invites people to define what success looks like and then helps them move toward it step by step.

  2. How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Kathryn commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what change would mean to them and to strengthen their own reasons for taking the next steps. This approach is useful for addiction, career shifts, or any time someone feels stuck.

    She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead. That style helps when someone needs emotional support or wants to explore values and identity. Mindfulness therapy appears in her work to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce anxiety and improve focus.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs change. The first sessions usually focus on what matters most and on small, practical steps.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions fit into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Ask about available session options when you schedule so you can pick what best fits your routine.
