As a fully licensed professional counselor in Texas, I have had the opportunity to work with many populations. Victims of domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with substance abuse, and those managing ongoing anxiety and depression are those with whom I have spent the most time. I prefer to demystify the counseling process and allow clients to be who they are during sessions. I don't want to put you in a box; I want you to feel validated and connected to the world you're in. I can see individuals, adolescents (15+), couples, and families.

Kathryn Stolle

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Longview, TX


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Laredo

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Laredo starts with knowing what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, identity-related stress, relationship concerns, or something else, a provider who understands and affirms your identity can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ mental health care.

Laredo is a close-knit border community, and finding a local provider who is both affirming and accepting new patients can take time. Virtual sessions expand your options by connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and what to expect before you book.

Therapy in Laredo can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits your needs and your budget.
