Kathleen Bass, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Kathleen

Kathleen Bass is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on practical help for common relationship and emotional struggles. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship challenges. She also works with issues tied to intimacy, self-esteem, career strain, bipolar disorder, grief, and family concerns.

Kathleen approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to make the first steps toward change clearer and less overwhelming.

Background and approach

Kathleen draws on two main therapy styles to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and build on what is already working in a person’s life.

Sessions are tailored to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations focus on practical strategies and skills the client can use between visits. Kathleen emphasizes straightforward communication and collaborative planning to address communication breakdowns, control issues, and impulsivity.

With 25 years of professional experience, Kathleen brings long-term perspective to complex life changes like divorce, midlife shifts, and military-related stressors. She aims to empower people to find clearer choices and renewed motivation. Her practice includes attention to forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.

People who choose her work toward realistic goals over time. Kathleen helps them set steps that feel doable and meaningful. She supports that process with steady, nonjudgmental guidance.

Therapy approaches and online care that fit your life

Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, and panic. CBT sessions focus on changing specific thoughts and routines so daily life feels more manageable. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her approach and centers on setting clear, short-term goals and building on what already works in a person’s life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality to choose methods that make sense. Together they adjust strategies over time so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers written conversation. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a real life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
