About Kathleen

Kathleen Bass is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and mood concerns. She works with adults on issues such as panic disorder and panic attacks, grief, anger, addictions, self-esteem, and career decisions. Kathleen aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and find clearer next steps.

Her style is practical and supportive. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a fixed script. She listens for what matters most, and then suggests small, doable changes to test between sessions.

Kathleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what is already working and set short-term, achievable goals. These approaches are tools she adapts to the situation in front of her.

With a focus on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, Kathleen helps people build skills for daily life. She partners with clients to reduce symptoms, manage crises, and improve communication patterns. Progress often comes from simple changes practiced consistently between sessions.

Based in Texas, Kathleen works with individuals who want practical strategies and clear steps toward feeling better. Before beginning, she and each person agree on goals and a plan that fits their circumstances.

How Kathleen Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Kathleen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that raise anxiety and to try different behaviors that can reduce panic and stress. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, short behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to change unhelpful habits.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what is already working and to set concrete, short-term goals. This approach emphasizes strengths and small, achievable changes that can be practiced between meetings to build momentum toward larger improvements.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen listens to your goals and tries methods that fit your needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made. She works with each person to decide which strategies to prioritize so sessions feel useful and focused.
