About Kathy

Kathy Keith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and serious concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship and intimacy issues. Her work also covers areas like ADHD, grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and LGBT and gender dysphoria questions.

Kathy aims to create a calm setting where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward methods that help people make day-to-day changes. That can mean learning skills for managing anxiety, building healthier communication, or addressing patterns that keep returning. Kathy blends practical tools with attentive listening so clients can try new ways of coping and see what fits.

Kathy draws from several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer ones. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-driven action even when feelings are difficult.

Attachment-Based Therapy helps with connection and trust in relationships. She also uses client-centered work to keep sessions tailored to the person in front of her. For relationship concerns, elements of the Gottman Method are available to focus on interaction patterns and repair.

Those methods are chosen to match the problem and the client’s goals. Kathy offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her practice supports a wide range of multicultural and identity-related concerns, including prejudice and discrimination.

She works with people seeking coaching-style help as well as therapy for deeper clinical issues.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Kathy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with intrusive thoughts. ACT teaches ways to act on your values even when emotions are strong, helping people handle stress, grief, and life changes.

She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Choosing the right approach happens together, based on what the client wants to change and what feels most useful in practice. The therapist adapts methods over time as goals and needs shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow flexibility for parents and busy people who need to fit sessions into their schedules. Remote sessions make it easier to continue work after setbacks, practice skills between meetings, and check in when life gets hectic.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
