Kathleen Bass , LPC

Kathleen Bass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, depression, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her work also covers addictions, bipolar concerns, and career-related stress.

Kathleen uses clear, practical conversation to understand what is most troubling. She listens without judgment and treats people with respect and compassion. Together, she and the client set goals and decide what steps to take.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and build small, manageable changes. These methods are used to reduce anxiety, handle panic, manage mood shifts, and improve communication.

Sessions are individualized. Kathleen adapts pacing and techniques to each person’s needs. She often focuses on concrete skills people can use between sessions, such as mood management, coping with grief, and healthier ways to handle anger and impulsivity.

Clients from Texas and beyond may work by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Kathleen supports people navigating midlife questions, abandonment and attachment issues, divorce and separation, military-related concerns, and feelings of isolation. Her aim is to help people move toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance.

Practical approaches for online therapy and real-life change

Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. That work often focuses on breaking unhelpful patterns, managing panic attacks, and reducing anxiety by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what is already working and build on those strengths. That approach helps people set short-term goals and try small changes that can lead to noticeable improvement in relationships, mood, or daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when in-person visits are not convenient. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people communicate between sessions or when they prefer written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
