About Kurt
Kurt Billups is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 20 years of practice. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, and issues related to sexual identity. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical guidance for everyday problems.
His work draws on experience in inpatient care and psychological assessment. That background helps him notice patterns and make clear, usable plans for what to try next.
Background and approach
He tailors each session to the person in front of him rather than using a one-size-fits-all routine. Kurt pays attention to relationship patterns and communication. He helps people talk through commitment worries, codependency, control issues, and conflicts that keep reappearing.
He also supports people facing abandonment, adoption or foster care questions, attachment concerns, and separation or divorce stress. He is familiar with issues around kink and alternative sexual cultures, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and domestic violence. Sessions aim to clarify goals, practice new ways of interacting, and build small habits that add up over time.
People who meet him for an intake often continue with therapy. He works from Texas and holds a Texas LPC. Sessions are offered in English and can happen through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many of Kurt's methods focus on clear, evidence-based techniques that help people change patterns and manage symptoms. One common approach uses structured problem-solving and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and depression by breaking problems into small, doable steps. This helps when feelings are overwhelming and daily life feels hard to manage.Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship skills. Sessions include practicing how to express needs, set boundaries, and address repeated conflicts. This work supports people dealing with commitment worries, codependency, or ongoing communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kurt works with clients to decide what techniques fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process that may change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick updates, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
