About Kathryn
Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also supports parents, people navigating adoption or blended family challenges, and those dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, or workplace struggles. Kathryn writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters to each person.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on the client's goals and strengths rather than labels.
Background and approach
She blends client-centered work with solution-focused strategies to help people make small, practical changes that add up. Kathryn uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and stay connected to the present moment. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when someone is ambivalent about steps like reducing substance use or adjusting behavior patterns.
With ten years of experience, Kathryn has worked with clients across a wide range of concerns, including sexuality and LGBT issues, intimacy, ADHD, first responder stress, and sexual assault and abuse. Her style aims to be inclusive and nonjudgmental while keeping sessions focused and goal oriented. People who reach out can expect a calm, direct therapist who emphasizes collaboration.
Kathryn prefers to set clear, achievable goals and to check progress regularly so each session moves toward what the client wants. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without giving advice. It helps people feel heard and shapes therapy around their priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, practical skills to notice and manage difficult emotions and bodily reactions, which can reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. It uses questions and reflections to clarify values and strengthen motivation for steps like reducing substance use or trying new behavior patterns. Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Kathryn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and targeted. Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or long commutes. Video calls work well for focused conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to stay consistent with appointments and to use therapy in ways that match everyday life.Questions people ask about Kathryn
