About Kathleen
Kathleen Eager-Ariz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, parenting strain, trauma, and questions about life purpose.
Kathleen helps people slow down and check in with their habits, emotions, and intuition. She talks through what might be stopping someone from moving forward and offers concrete support for making changes. Sessions are collaborative and person-centered, with an emphasis on practical steps and problem solving.
Her practice pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, such as avoidance, unhelpful reactions to stress, or repeated relationship cycles. Kathleen uses approaches that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behavior to help clients notice what is maintaining their difficulties and to try new ways of responding.
She has experience supporting people through life transitions, emotional dysregulation, grief, addiction concerns, and caregiver stress. Kathleen also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, anger, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns.
People working with Kathleen can expect straightforward conversation about current habits and small, practical experiments to test change. She encourages clients to track what helps and what does not, and to adjust plans based on real-life results.
Approach and practical online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels adrift or unsure which direction fits them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and includes specific exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with emotional dysregulation and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. That information guides which methods are tried and how they are adapted to the person's everyday life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep regular appointments and try out strategies between sessions while keeping the focus on real-world changes.
