About Kathlene
Kathlene Pendleton is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction recovery, and stress. She also supports work on parenting, self-esteem, trauma and related issues.
Pendleton uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. She introduces exercises people can try between meetings, such as thought records and short behavior experiments. She also teaches breathing and mindfulness practices to steady intense feelings and improve moment-to-moment coping.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused and mindfulness approaches. That mix is used to address symptoms and to change patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions move between noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new actions, and building skills for managing strong emotions.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. The therapist and client set clear goals and track progress with simple tools. Clients often get short practice tasks to use during the week and review how those tasks affected daily life.
Pendleton also attends to issues that often accompany mental health concerns, such as caregiver stress, money worries, guilt and shame, and communication problems. She explains techniques in plain language and focuses on what people can do right now to feel more capable and steady.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions using CBT break problems into steps, use short exercises in-session, and assign brief practice tasks to do between meetings. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, works on noticing thoughts and making choices that align with personal values. In video or phone sessions this can mean practicing willingness exercises and clarifying what matters most, which is useful for coping with life changes and persistent worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns and goals with the client and recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked and needs evolve.

The focus is on practical tools and skills that can be used in everyday life, whether meetings are on the phone or through video.
