Kathy Keith, LPC

Kathy Keith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of addictive and compulsive behaviors. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at helping clients find day-to-day relief and clearer paths forward.

She listens without judgment and creates a space where people can name what feels hard. Sessions focus on concrete skills and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Kathy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment ideas to guide that work.

Her background includes long-term practice with survivors of sexual assault and people navigating gender dysphoria, infidelity, grief, and multicultural stressors. She also supports those coping with bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. That breadth gives her many options to tailor interventions to each person’s situation.

Kathy favors a collaborative style. She partners with clients to set clear goals and checks progress as therapy moves along. Expect practical tools for managing emotions, steps to improve relationships, and ways to rebuild routines after setbacks.

Sessions blend talk therapy with behavioral exercises and mindfulness in ways that match each person’s pace. Language is straightforward and focused on what will make life feel more manageable between sessions.

How Kathy’s approaches translate to online care

Kathy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes simple experiments, homework tasks, and step-by-step plans that transfer well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them; it can help with anxiety, grief, and ongoing stress by teaching practical acceptance and committed action.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathy treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might fit. Together, the therapist and client decide which tools and pacing feel most useful for the person's life and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video sessions let people use visual cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick check-ins, short coaching-style exchanges, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on practical steps and steady progress.
