Kathryn Upton , LPC

Kathryn Upton encourages people navigating change to take steps forward with courage and practical support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience, she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflict, career challenges, addiction, and trauma.

She offers an inclusive, open, and non-judgmental space where the client is regarded as the expert in their own life. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in empathy and honesty, drawing from a humanistic perspective while using solution-focused techniques to build on existing strengths. Kathryn explains the LPC credential as a professional license to provide mental health counseling in the state of Texas.

Sessions are designed to avoid labels and to resist giving prescriptive advice; instead she partners with each person to set clear, achievable goals tailored to the client’s priorities. Whether addressing parenting and family dynamics, grief and loss, addiction, or issues related to self-esteem and identity, Kathryn aims to help clients move toward greater purpose, meaning, and well-being through focused, strength-based work.

Approaches Kathryn Uses for Online Therapy and Support

Kathryn uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-centered environment where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people who need empathetic support while exploring identity, relationships, and life transitions. She also employs solution-focused techniques that concentrate on current strengths and practical steps to reach specific goals, which can be especially helpful for stress, career issues, family conflict, and parenting challenges. When trauma is a focus, Kathryn integrates trauma-focused strategies to address the effects of abuse, loss, or other traumatic experiences in a paced and attentive way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryn collaborates with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adjust techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Kathryn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or varying comfort levels with remote care. These options allow clients to access consistent support in formats that fit their daily life while working with a licensed professional.
