About Kathleen
Kathleen Eager-Ariz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and trouble with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career transitions, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach begins by noticing everyday habits, thoughts, and emotions that keep people stuck. She uses practical methods to help clients test new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions are collaborative and focused on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
Kathleen draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and create committed action, and elements of Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client's perspective. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
She frames therapy as a process of checking in on behavior, feelings, and intuition to see what is and isn’t working. When trauma or long-standing patterns interfere with growth, she helps people name those patterns and make small changes. The focus is on practical problem solving and building skills that fit into daily life.
People who prefer a straightforward, skills-based style that still listens for personal meaning may find this approach useful. Kathleen offers sessions from Texas and works with English-speaking clients, including international clients when appropriate.
How Kathleen uses CBT, ACT and client-centered methods online
Kathleen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings so clients can try small behavioral experiments and track what changes.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps in that direction. Client-Centered Therapy elements mean sessions include open listening and reflection so clients can make sense of their experience in their own words.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kathleen will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you bring, and then suggest methods to try together. The plan can change as you learn what helps most.
