Kathryn Upton, LPC

Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. She has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, family and relationship conflict, career challenges, addiction, and trauma. Kathryn strives to create an inclusive, open, and non-judgmental space where clients are treated as the experts on their own lives. The LPC credential indicates a professional counseling license in Texas and reflects formal training and clinical supervision in mental health care.

Her clinical style emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and honesty, guided by a humanistic perspective and solution-focused techniques that draw on each person’s strengths. Kathryn does not focus on labels or give directive advice; instead she partners with clients to set clear, personalized goals and structures sessions to address the issues most important to them. Whether addressing small adjustments or major life changes, she works alongside clients to help them build practical coping skills and pursue greater purpose, meaning, and wellbeing.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Kathryn integrates client-centered therapy and solution-focused methods to support change in an online setting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so that the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore values, strengths, and goals. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small, measurable changes that move a person toward their desired outcomes rather than dwelling on problems.

When trauma is a part of the story, Kathryn’s trauma-informed perspective helps prioritize safety and pacing while working toward healing and greater emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Kathryn collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kathryn offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier for clients to access consistent care around work, family, and life demands. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to provide continuity of care and to support practical skill building between sessions.
