About Kathlene

Kathlene Pendleton is an LPC with eight years of clinical practice based in Texas who helps people navigate a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, addiction recovery, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD, drawing on training in evidence-based therapies to address mood disorders, trauma, and coping with life changes. Her background also includes focus areas like caregiver stress, communication problems, financial worries, and women's issues.

Her therapeutic stance is collaborative and compassionate, centering each person’s individual story when shaping treatment. She uses practical skills and tailored strategies to build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and support healthier relationship patterns.

Sessions emphasize concrete coping tools alongside deeper exploration of values, forgiveness, and self-worth to foster lasting change. Pendleton offers a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can expect a balance of skill-building and empathic reflection.

She aims to help clients identify realistic goals, practice new behaviors, and develop stronger emotional resources for managing life transitions and ongoing stressors.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying what matters most to them and learning to act in line with personal values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and certain mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be beneficial for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and then tailor a mix of techniques to match those needs. That collaborative planning helps shape which methods are emphasized and how therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, teach practical skills, and provide ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
