Kurt Billups, LPC

Kurt Billups is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. He combines hands-on work running inpatient programs with psychological assessment experience and specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy and Play Therapy to tailor treatment to each person or family.

His approach emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies delivered in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individual histories and current needs guide care. That case-by-case focus reflects both professional training and years of direct patient work across a wide spectrum of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship challenges. Many clients come seeking help with communication, codependency, commitment problems, or the emotional effects of adoption and foster care, and he brings experience addressing these areas alongside more common presentations like anxiety and depression.

Therapy is framed as a collaborative journey, and Kurt aims to create a clear path forward that fits each person’s goals and circumstances. Ninety-eight percent of people who complete an intake choose to continue working with him, a reflection of his commitment to thoughtful assessment and ongoing support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Kurt draws on training in Marriage and Family Therapy to work with couples and family systems, helping members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild connections. This approach focuses on how relationships influence emotions and behavior and is useful for couples, co-parents, and families facing transitions or repeated patterns of conflict.

He also uses principles from Play Therapy for younger clients and families who benefit from more expressive, developmentally attuned techniques. Play-based methods allow children to process feelings and build coping skills through age-appropriate activities while adults receive guidance on supporting growth and attachment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kurt collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to attend sessions around work, family, and daily responsibilities. Remote care makes it easier to maintain regular appointments, access licensed professionals from home, and continue therapy through life changes while preserving continuity of care.
