Kathlene Pendleton, LPC

Kathlene Pendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has eight years of experience helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Her work also addresses stress tied to caregiving, communication struggles, and concerns like self-esteem and money-related stress.

Kathlene keeps sessions collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals. Conversations focus on coping skills that can be used between sessions. The approach is warm and nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about hard topics.

Her methods draw on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those tools are used to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and build more flexible ways of responding to stress. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit a person’s needs.

Clients commonly bring concerns like parenting strain, relationship pain, trauma, anger, eating issues, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Kathlene also works with people facing career stress, forgiveness and guilt issues, and questions about self-love and women’s health matters. She frames goals around daily functioning and practical relief.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. The intake steps are designed to match personal goals with an appropriate therapy plan.

How Kathlene’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kathlene works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques to what’s practical for the client and changes the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not spelled out in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, cut commute time, and allow brief check-ins that match a work break or caregiving schedule. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and review coping strategies between meetings.
