Kathryn Robinson , LPC

Kathryn Robinson is a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who combines formal training with years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, mood disorders, and life transitions. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and she has worked extensively in clinical settings, including six years at a mental health facility and roles in two residential dual diagnosis centers where she supported individuals with both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Her clinical toolkit includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She also draws on techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, Gestalt, person-centered approaches, and integrative/humanistic perspectives to tailor care to each person’s needs. Kathryn regularly uses the DSM-IV and DSM-5 frameworks in diagnostic and treatment planning and has experience working with diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders.

Kathryn describes her therapeutic style as down-to-earth, warm, and nonthreatening while maintaining clear boundaries when needed. She values ongoing professional growth and brings a commitment to empowerment, progress, and mutual respect to her work. As a believer in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, she is willing to integrate Biblical principles into counseling when a client requests that perspective. Kathryn welcomes clients who are ready to face the issues holding them back and prefers a collaborative path toward more content and rewarding lives.

CBT and Trauma-Informed Care Delivered Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Kathryn uses CBT techniques to help clients develop practical skills for managing symptoms and improving coping strategies.

Cognitive Processing Therapy is a trauma-focused approach that supports people in processing traumatic memories and reducing the ways those memories affect current life. It is particularly helpful for clients working through post-traumatic stress reactions by examining beliefs related to the trauma and promoting adaptive thinking.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Kathryn collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment aligns with what matters to the client.

Online therapy with Kathryn is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and comfort with different communication styles. Working remotely can make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, or other commitments while still receiving support from a licensed professional.
