About Kathleen

Kathleen Eager-Ariz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. She speaks plainly and works with clients to identify what is getting in the way of feeling steady and hopeful again. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical change and clearer direction.

She begins by checking daily habits, emotions, and patterns that affect how people show up for work, school, and relationships.

Background and approach

Kathleen believes most people have the capacity to grow, but trauma or repeated behaviors can make change hard. She focuses on small, manageable shifts rather than big, sudden overhauls. Kathleen uses approaches that match each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

Her sessions are collaborative and person-centered, so goals are set together. She also incorporates EMDR when it fits a client’s situation. In sessions she helps people work through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction concerns, and attention difficulties.

She also supports people facing career stress, chronic illness management, and complicated feelings like guilt, emptiness, or shame. With three years of clinical experience and a Texas LPC license, Kathleen blends empathy with practical tools. People who want clear steps, regular check-ins, and a respectful, goal-focused approach may find her helpful.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it emphasizes small, value-driven steps rather than perfect solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT often suits mood issues, anxiety, sleep problems, and behaviors that someone wants to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit best. Sessions are collaborative - adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, ongoing homework, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into daily life.
