About Kathleen

Kathleen Bass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and mood concerns. Kathleen aims to meet people where they are and offers calm, practical support in sessions.

She works with individuals and couples on communication, anger, addiction concerns, and challenges around intimacy and self‑esteem. Kathleen listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes the conversation to focus on usable steps and clearer thinking. She describes therapy as a partnership that centers respect, sensitivity, and nonjudgmental care.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution‑Focused Therapy techniques. That means conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and setting short, concrete goals. Kathleen keeps things straightforward and action oriented so people can try changes between sessions.

Over 25 years, she has worked with people facing divorce, attachment and abandonment issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and life transitions such as midlife concerns and career shifts. She also has experience supporting those coping with panic attacks, post‑traumatic stress, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Sessions are offered in English and Kathleen accepts international clients. She invites prospective clients to consider therapy as a step toward clearer priorities, better communication, and more manageable day to day life.

How Kathleen Uses CBT and Solution‑Focused Work Online

Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and mood concerns because it focuses on changing patterns that keep problems going.

She also draws on Solution‑Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on strengths and small, doable changes that move a person toward their goals. That approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical steps to improve relationships, communication, or daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in on what’s working and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, choose shorter check‑ins when needed, or use audio instead of video when bandwidth is limited. Kathleen emphasizes making sessions practical and manageable so they fit everyday life rather than create extra stress.
