I started my therapy journey about 3 weeks ago with Kathryn. She has made opening up and talking about my feelings and experiences so easy. She has such a welcoming spirit and I was able to bond and feel safe opening up right away. I’m excited to continue my journey with her and learn and grow better.

More about me
Licensing: MA, LPC, LPCC Years in Practice: 22 State: California
Hello, and welcome. My name is Kathryn Harper. I am a professional counselor licensed in Texas and California with years of experience working as a psychotherapist, life coach, and positive discipline parent educator.
Are you feeling anxious, stressed, and/or depressed? Are you experiencing a transition: career, education, parenting, gender questions, relationship, spiritual questions, or loss of a loved one? Are you feeling stuck in your life? Let's sit together and explore all that weighs on you. I think of counseling as a form of mentoring. You have the answers in yourself. My role is to be your companion and guide in accessing your own wisdom and power. You are stronger and more creative than you know. Therapy is an experience where I stay completely present to you, and help you explore, heal, and grow. I am LGBTQ+ friendly; here are some of the issues I help with:
-- anxiety, low self-esteem
-- mild to moderate depression and dysthymia
-- mental well-being and self-care
-- recovering from sexual assault
-- exploring the self through creative expression
-- career and life purpose challenges; finding one's "north star"
-- adults with Aspergers or ASD with level 1 and 2 support needs
-- parenting neurodiverse kids (gifted, autistic, ADHD); it can be isolating as a parent
-- positive discipline parenting techniques
-- recovering from damaging religious culture/childhood or exploring spirituality
-- coping with a diagnosis of chronic or terminal illness; life-altering injury
-- grieving the death of someone (person or animal); climate change despair
My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and positive psychology theory and techniques. When we work together, I create a compassionate connection with you. We can work on "fixing what's wrong" while we also "build what's strong" in your life. You may access more resources here: https://www.kathrynharper.com/.
Your step toward counseling shows courage and faith in yourself. You can create a more fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you.
Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 988 to talk to someone right away!
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
