Kathryn Upton, LPC

Kathryn Upton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She has supported children, adolescents, and adults through a broad range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflict, parenting challenges, career-related stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also includes focused attention on adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, first responder issues, multicultural concerns, sexuality and LGBT topics, sexual assault recovery, workplace difficulties, and young adult transitions.

Kathryn approaches counseling from a humanistic, client-centered orientation that emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and honesty. She describes therapy as a partnership that builds on each person’s strengths rather than relying on labels or one-size-fits-all advice. Using solution-focused strategies alongside mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused techniques, she helps clients define clear goals and practical steps toward those goals.

Sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on measurable progress and real-world coping skills. Kathryn aims to create an inclusive, open, and non-judgmental environment where people can explore meaning, purpose, and improved well-being. Her combination of experience and varied clinical approaches supports work on both short-term goals and deeper, longer-term healing.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Kathryn brings training and licensure in counseling to her practice, along with a commitment to respectful, strengths-based care that honors each person’s unique story and desired outcomes.
