About Kathleen

Kathleen Paul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and depression, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. She helps people speak about hard feelings without judgment. Sessions are described as a place to sort through thoughts and emotions and to take practical steps forward.

In practice she draws on several well-known methods. Kathleen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to slow down overwhelming thoughts and attention to the present moment.

Many clients bring painful memories, relationship wounds, or struggles with substance use. She addresses these concerns directly, working on coping skills, motivation for change, and clearer communication. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and blended family stressors.

Sessions emphasize short-term skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Kathleen encourages small, manageable steps and practical strategies that fit daily life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking if they need a specific format.

She provides services in English and accepts international clients. Because sessions vary by location, fees follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as new challenges or priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and homework tools between meetings, which supports steady skill practice in everyday life.
