Kathlene Pendleton, LPC

Kathlene Pendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with people in Texas facing stress, anxiety, and related life challenges. She brings eight years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping clients manage depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction recovery, and career or parenting stress.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients set small, practical goals. Sessions typically focus on building day-to-day coping skills and clearer communication. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Kathlene uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and from mindfulness to reduce overwhelm. Emotion-focused work and acceptance-based strategies are also woven in when they fit the problem at hand.

People who come to her often want tools they can use outside of sessions. She helps create routines for stress management, plans for handling difficult conversations, and steps for moving through grief or addiction recovery. The work balances practical exercises with space to process emotions.

Kathlene emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. She helps people build emotional skills and stronger patterns over time. If someone wants a steady, practical approach to stress and anxiety, she frames therapy as a collaborative process.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that increase distress, and it often includes practical homework to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single method. That choice can shift as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a day. Many people find it simpler to continue steady skill practice when sessions fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
