About Kathlene
Kathlene Pendleton is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas who helps people navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
Background and approach
With eight years of clinical experience, she supports individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction recovery, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Her work also addresses issues like ADHD, self-esteem, anger, eating struggles, parenting stress, and career-related distress.
Her therapeutic stance emphasizes compassion and collaboration, tailoring sessions to each client's needs and goals. She draws from evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy to build practical coping skills and emotional resilience.
Kathlene aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult experiences and practice new ways of responding. Clients who choose her can expect a personalized plan that blends skill-building with reflective work, focusing on tangible strategies for daily life alongside deeper emotional processing.
Her approach highlights gradual progress, strengthened self-awareness, and tools to manage both immediate symptoms and longer-term wellbeing.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Kathlene often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, using practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and values-driven strategies to help clients clarify what matters most. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related symptoms. ACT emphasizes mindful acceptance and committed action toward personal values, useful for coping with stress, life changes, and chronic emotional challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She learns about each person's goals, preferences, and experiences and then recommends or blends approaches that fit those needs. Clients and therapist decide together how to adapt methods over time so work in sessions maps onto real-life priorities and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow people to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or geographic limits, and to choose the communication style that feels most manageable while building practical skills and emotional insight.
