Kathlene Pendleton

Kathlene Pendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction recovery, grief, and relationship struggles. Her work emphasizes practical steps clients can use day to day.

She takes a collaborative approach that centers each person’s goals and life context. Sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing emotional awareness, and finding clearer ways to communicate. Kathlene aims to make therapy feel straightforward and usable, not abstract.

Her background includes several evidence-based methods that she adapts to fit a person’s needs. She blends behavioral tools with emotional work and mindfulness practices. This combination supports both short-term relief and longer-term change.

In the room she listens for patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood and helps people try different responses. She also addresses practical stressors like caregiving burden, money worries, and career pressure. Forgiveness, guilt, shame, and self-love are common topics explored together.

Clients can expect clear suggestions and small experiments to use between sessions. The goal is to help people feel more steady and confident when life's challenges arise. Kathlene works with people who want direct, compassionate help to improve how they manage emotions and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that fit a person's values. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by emotions or stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and everyday life demands. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer working from a quieter spot or using audio-only sessions when video is not practical; discuss these needs when arranging appointments to find what fits best.
