About Kathleen
Kathleen Jansen is an LMFT who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, compassionate style. Kathleen describes therapy as a team effort where she listens, gives honest feedback, and helps clients set small, manageable goals.
She keeps sessions practical and focused on lived problems. In the first meeting she gathers a brief history and asks about current struggles to shape a plan that fits each person’s life. Kathleen aims to remove or work around barriers with steps that people can actually use between sessions.
Her work draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address things like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, body image concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame.
She trained in counseling after earning a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Houston campuses. Kathleen says her own experience getting help as a young person shaped her belief in the value of getting support early.
Sessions are framed to fit each client’s needs, with honest conversation and practical homework when helpful. She welcomes people who want to better understand themselves and move toward clearer goals.
