About Kathryn Kirkland-Franco

Kathryn Kirkland-Franco is a Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential that indicates she is authorized to provide counseling services in Texas - who brings three decades of experience to her practice. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods and adapts her approach to the needs of each person she works with, grounding her work primarily in Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

She approaches therapy with the belief that many answers to life questions are already within people and become more accessible when supported by a trusting therapeutic relationship. Her style has a calm and reassuring quality, and people she meets in everyday interactions often guess that she is a therapist because of that demeanor.

Kathryn encourages those who are seeking a steady, empathic therapeutic presence to reach out. If her approach does not feel like the right fit, she still applauds the effort toward self-care and growth and wishes those individuals well on their journey.
