Kathleen Rushing , LPC

Kathleen Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on women's issues and related life challenges. She connects with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, relationship tension, and changes in career or life direction. Her tone is caring and straightforward, and she aims to help clients find balance and clearer ways to manage daily pressures.

Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to guide change. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build small practical steps toward goals. She emphasizes clear, manageable tools rather than long lists of theory.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria and a long career in counseling roles. Kathleen has 19 years of experience supporting people through grief, family problems, divorce and separation, workplace issues, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.

She also works with concerns such as ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation, impulsivity, mood disorders, and multicultural issues. Her approach centers on listening first, then collaborating on goals that feel realistic for each person’s life and schedule.

Clients can expect sessions that are attentive and nonjudgmental. Kathleen focuses on helping people build clearer thinking patterns, manageable routines, and steps they can use between sessions to make steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it uses clear exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit their preferences and day-to-day life. If something isn't working, adjustments are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is a challenge, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, child care, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
