About Kathleen

Kathleen Bass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting and family challenges, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, communication and control struggles, impulsivity, isolation, and trauma-related concerns like panic and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach is collaborative and practical, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to create tailored strategies that meet each person's goals. Kathleen emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental stance while helping clients identify patterns, develop coping skills, and build healthier interactions.

She works with clients to design treatment plans that fit their unique situations and values. Kathleen views reaching out for support as a courageous first step and aims to empower people as they move toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Kathleen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into online work to keep sessions focused and goal-oriented. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and managing mood swings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps clients can try between sessions, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and problems that benefit from short-term, targeted change.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kathleen and the client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time to fit progress and evolving needs. The emphasis is on partnership and on selecting strategies that align with each person’s life circumstances.

Online formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic distance. Video calls allow face-to-face interactions; phone sessions provide a simpler audio option; and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection and check-ins between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills in everyday settings.
