Kathleen Rushing, LPC

Kathleen Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families as they work toward greater balance and understanding in their lives and relationships. She earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria in 2004 and brings additional experience from her long-standing work as a Certified School Counselor.

Kathleen approaches therapy with respect for each person’s strengths and a belief in the capacity to create meaningful change. Clients can expect a supportive, attentive, and non-judgmental space where concerns are explored with care and purpose. Her work is grounded in established, research-informed counseling theories, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach. CBT is a structured form of talk therapy that helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, challenge negative assumptions, and respond to stressors with clearer thinking and more effective coping strategies.

In sessions, Kathleen collaborates with clients to identify goals, examine thought and emotion cycles, and build practical tools for managing difficult feelings and navigating life’s challenges. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, parenting, depression, relationship issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
