About Kathryn
Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, addiction, and parenting challenges. She supports those dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, workplace and career questions, and ADHD. Kathryn offers a direct and compassionate approach that aims to help people move forward one step at a time.
Kathryn draws on ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on the person in front of her and works from a client-centered viewpoint.
How Kathryn works
Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented so people leave with clear next steps they can try between meetings. Her methods include mindfulness practices to increase awareness and calm, motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change, and solution-focused techniques to build on strengths. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when past harm is a core part of someone's struggle.
Kathryn prefers plain language and practical tools rather than jargon or labels. In sessions she listens with empathy and asks questions that help people see patterns and options. Together they set realistic goals and review progress regularly.
Parents may find direct help with parenting stress and blended family challenges, and people affected by adoption, foster care, or sexual assault can work on healing and coping skills. Kathryn provides services in English and accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and values. It means sessions center on the person's goals and choices, and the therapist follows their lead to build understanding and trust. This approach is useful for general stress, relationships, and parenting concerns.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It often helps with anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes by teaching short exercises people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kathryn works collaboratively to decide what methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She may try different techniques and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send quick updates, reflect in writing, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to practice new skills in daily life.
