About Kathleen
Kathleen Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Her approach aims to make sessions feel direct and useful for day-to-day life.
She draws on nearly two decades of experience in counseling, including many years working in school settings earlier in her career. Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and mindfulness techniques to keep sessions grounded in each person’s priorities. In sessions she works with clients to set clear goals and practice skills between meetings. That may include thought records, breathing and grounding exercises, or short action plans for difficult conversations.
Over time the small changes add up into more predictable ways of handling anger, stress, and life transitions. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Houston–Victoria earned in 2004 and nearly 19 years in the counseling field. Kathleen emphasizes a caring, nonjudgmental stance and aims to help people find balance and structure in their lives.
People who choose her often want straightforward talk, skills they can use right away, and a therapist who listens closely. Sessions are aimed at helping clients manage mood, improve relationships, and move toward clearer goals.

How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and placing the client’s priorities at the center of each session. It helps people feel heard and makes it easier to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anger or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and she will adjust methods as needs change. That means trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and building a plan that fits each person’s life.
Online formats make this collaboration easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging help keep momentum between meetings and let clients share quick updates or ask questions in writing. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.
