Kathleen M Curran

Kathleen M Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 31 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, depression, and major life changes. Kathleen also focuses on issues such as body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

She uses a conversational, person-focused style in sessions. Kathleen listens to what matters most and then helps clients try practical steps that can reduce distress. Conversations often include identifying patterns, testing small changes, and naming unhelpful thoughts so they lose power.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered work emphasizes the client’s perspective and what each person brings to the room. CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and on concrete skills to manage symptoms and move forward.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented while remaining respectful of each person's pace. Kathleen aims to make the work usable in everyday life so people can try new strategies between meetings. If a reader is unsure about next steps, she recommends completing the intake steps and scheduling a first session to see how the work feels.

Practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English. The therapist asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching questionnaire to start the intake and schedule their first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people name what matters and decide which issues to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and social fears.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then suggest either a client-centered path, CBT techniques, or a blend of both. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and reduce travel time for appointments. If a client prefers a certain way of meeting, the therapist and client will discuss practical choices and pick the option that fits the person’s daily routine and care goals.
