About Kathleen
Kathleen Paul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Kathleen draws on a range of therapy approaches to help people sort through what feels overwhelming now and identify practical next steps.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the problems you bring. Clients can expect honest conversation about thoughts, feelings, and patterns that get in the way. Kathleen uses evidence-based methods to help people notice what matters and practice different ways of responding to stress and cravings.
She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, blended family stress, caregiver strain, body image, codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame. Those topics often come up alongside anxiety, mood concerns, or substance use and are worked on together when relevant.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets her balance practical skills with time to understand how past experiences shape current choices. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies and short-term goals when those are helpful.
People who want a direct, steady clinician to help them move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities often find her style useful. She offers services in English and accepts clients who live outside the United States as well as within Texas.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and deciding what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods based on what is helpful. That collaborative decision-making helps people test strategies while keeping sessions focused on real-life problems.
