About Kathleen
Kathleen Eager-Ariz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or the demands of parenting. She also helps those coping with grief, addictions, low self-esteem, and codependency-related patterns.
Kathleen asks straightforward questions about habits, emotions, and routines. She helps clients notice what keeps them stuck and what small steps might make daily life more manageable. Sessions focus on practical changes and clearer choices rather than long lectures or jargon.
Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that shape behavior. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas about values and committed action.
Kathleen has worked with people facing trauma, mood difficulties like depression and bipolar symptoms, and stress from life transitions. She supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the fallout from relationship problems such as infidelity or separation.
People meet with her to talk through relationship dynamics, set boundaries, manage impulsive urges, and build more reliable daily routines. She aims to offer clear tools and steady support while clients practice new ways of responding in their everyday lives.
How sessions work
How Kathleen uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for people stuck by avoidance or indecision. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to unhelpful behaviors and practicing different responses; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Kathleen will talk with clients about their goals, daily challenges, and what methods feel most practical. She treats the plan as a collaboration and adjusts approaches based on how someone responds over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or avoid travel time. The focus online is the same as in person: practicing skills, reviewing progress, and finding small, doable changes that reduce codependent habits and increase clarity in relationships.
