About Kathryn
Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps that families and parents can use at home. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at meeting people where they are.
Kathryn draws on ten years of experience to keep sessions collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions mix client-centered conversation with solution-focused tools so people can practice changes between meetings. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and refocus attention during stressful moments. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to find their own reasons to change.
Trauma-informed strategies guide work with people who have experienced abuse or other painful events. Kathryn aims for an inclusive, nonjudgmental space where identity and background are respected. She avoids labels and does not give prescriptive advice; instead she helps clients build on their strengths and values.
Parents can expect practical ideas that fit daily life. Her style is warm and honest, with an emphasis on collaboration. Conversations are focused on the client’s priorities and on steps that lead toward those goals.
Kathryn works with an eye toward meaning, purpose, and improved everyday functioning.

How Kathryn’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means conversations that reflect the client's priorities and give space for personal choices. It helps with stress, parenting decisions, relationship doubts, and figuring out next steps.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and calm the body. These tools are useful for anxiety, anger, parenting stress, and moments when someone needs to pause and regroup.
Kathryn will work with clients to find the right mix of approaches. She treats finding the best method as a collaborative process. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or deeper work is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates, ask quick questions, or keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different time zones.
