About Kathleen
Kathleen Rushing helps people who are stressed, anxious, or trying to make sense of big life changes. She writes in a straightforward way and meets people where they are. Kathleen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience working with individual concerns like grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career questions.
Kathleen uses clear, practical talk therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits.
How Kathleen works
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions focus on real problems and small, achievable steps rather than abstract theory. Her work often covers family issues, divorce and separation, and the stress that comes from workplace demands or caregiving roles.
She also gives attention to concerns like ADHD, mood differences, dissociation, and multicultural questions. Kathleen aims to help people find more balance and stronger self-care habits. Appointments typically involve setting concrete goals, testing out new ways of thinking, and practicing coping skills between sessions.
Kathleen emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere so clients can talk openly about what matters most to them. She practices in Texas and offers services in English. People who want to start are guided through a brief matching process and scheduling step to connect with her and begin working toward clearer routines and better emotional management.

How Kathleen uses talk therapy online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. This approach helps people feel heard and guides sessions by their priorities, which supports work on relationships, self-worth, and life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try out different responses, and build practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose or blend methods that make sense for those goals. She adjusts pacing and tools so the work feels manageable and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and support deeper discussions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
