About Kathleen
Kathleen M Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 31 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and major life changes. Kathleen aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take steps toward feeling better.
She uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. Kathleen listens closely and tailors discussions and plans to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical strategies that people can try between sessions to manage symptoms and handle daily challenges. Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
Those methods are often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Over three decades in practice, Kathleen has worked with people facing addiction and recovery concerns, communication problems, control issues, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, body image struggles, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and honest conversation. Kathleen encourages people to take the first step and offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence while they work toward change.
How Kathleen uses client-centered and CBT online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their priorities. This approach works well for someone who needs acceptance and steady support while finding their own path.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT can help with depression, social anxiety, and stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kathleen discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques over time. She combines listening with concrete tools so the plan fits what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer shorter, written exchanges during the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity while working through anxiety and life stress.
