Kathlene Pendleton, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Kathlene

Kathlene Pendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with people in Texas. She has eight years of experience helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles. Kathlene focuses on practical skills and steady support rather than labels or quick fixes.

Her sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person. She listens carefully, helps identify realistic steps, and teaches coping tools people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She draws on several evidence-based methods to match interventions to the problem at hand. Parents and caregivers often come for help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, and family tensions. Kathlene also addresses issues like self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns, eating difficulties, and mood disorders with clear, concrete strategies.

She brings patience and straightforward guidance when emotions feel overwhelming. Her style is calm and goal-oriented but flexible to a client’s needs. People who prefer hands-on skills, practical exercises, and real-world plans tend to do well in her approach.

She aims to make progress understandable and manageable, one step at a time. Kathlene provides services in English across Texas. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally-focused approaches, and mindfulness practices to help people build more balanced routines and healthier ways of coping.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom control to meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and behavior changes through structured exercises and homework.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit the person. Adapting techniques over time is normal until the right mix is found.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face from different places, while phone sessions offer a simpler connection. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support between meetings. These options increase flexibility so work, school, or caregiving duties do not block access to regular care.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
