About Kathryn

Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, addiction, trauma, grief, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches clients with empathy and collaboration, treating each person as the expert in their own life while drawing on practical strategies to address presenting concerns. Her background includes work with parenting and blended family issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, workplace challenges, multicultural concerns, and sexual assault and abuse.

Kathryn uses a humanistic, client-centered stance that values honesty and partnership. She blends solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to build on strengths and set achievable goals, and she incorporates mindfulness and trauma-focused methods when addressing stress reactions and lasting effects of difficult experiences.

Sessions aim to be inclusive and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on clear, goal-oriented steps tailored to each client’s needs. Kathryn welcomes clients seeking help with coping, personal growth, and improved relationships, and she works collaboratively to identify practical skills and pathways forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical delivery

Kathryn often uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful environment where the person’s priorities steer the work; this approach helps when clients want to clarify values, explore personal meaning, or take the lead in setting goals. She also employs mindfulness therapy, teaching present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and support stress and anxiety management. When motivation for change is a central barrier, motivational interviewing techniques are used to explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to concrete steps.

Choosing the right approach is treated as part of the therapeutic process rather than a fixed decision. Kathryn works together with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds to remain responsive and collaborative.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions, practice skills in daily life, and access regular support from a licensed professional without the need to travel for every appointment.
