About Kathlene
Kathlene Pendleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction recovery, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and other mood or life-change concerns. Sessions are offered in English and her practice focuses on practical coping skills and clearer emotional understanding.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings and notice how those feelings shape actions and relationships. That often means slowing down strong reactions and practicing new ways to respond.
Pendleton favors a collaborative style. She works with each person to set goals and try small changes between sessions. Expect direct tools for stress, anxiety, mood management, and craving or relapse prevention when addiction is a concern.
She also addresses issues such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, money-related anxiety, self-esteem, and intimacy questions. Conversations cover practical steps for everyday life as well as processing grief and trauma at a manageable pace.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and a focus on skills they can use outside therapy. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session to get a clear plan moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and processing core emotions that shape relationship patterns and personal reactions. Online work can help people notice those emotional patterns and try new responses in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and accepting difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness best fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family routines, allow quieter surroundings, or make it simpler to check in during a break. Online sessions also let therapists guide practical skill practice and brief in-session exercises that translate directly into daily life.
