About Kathleen

Kathleen Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 19 years of experience in counseling, she combines practical strategies with a respectful, compassionate presence to support clients facing mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, workplace issues, ADHD, and other life adjustments. Kathleen emphasizes helping clients clarify goals, manage emotions, and build structure that supports daily functioning and personal growth.

Her work draws on evidence-informed methods, especially cognitive behavioral techniques that help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts while developing concrete coping skills. Kathleen also integrates client-centered and mindfulness-informed ways of relating, offering attentive, nonjudgmental support as clients explore adjustments, family dynamics, grief, or questions about life purpose.

She aims to partner with each person to set realistic goals and practice approaches that fit their situation and values.

Practical Approaches for Online Growth

Kathleen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client in exploring values, relationships, and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kathleen works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule, continue work between in-person commitments, and maintain momentum when life circumstances change. Kathleen uses these formats to deliver structured interventions, reflective listening, and skills practice in ways that fit each client’s routine and needs.
