About Kurt

Kurt Billups is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He works from Texas and offers straightforward, empathetic care for individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including issues related to ADHD and LGBT identity. Kurt presents a calm, practical presence for people who feel overwhelmed and want clear next steps.

His background includes work in inpatient care and psychological assessment. That clinical experience shapes how he approaches problems - by looking at patterns, safety, and what actually gets in the way of daily life. He tailors each plan to the person in front of him rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Kurt also draws on training in marriage and family therapy and play therapy to inform his work with attachment, abandonment, and parenting-related concerns. He pays attention to communication problems, codependency, and the stress that caregivers often carry. Sessions aim to make hard topics manageable and actionable.

He supports people navigating sexual concerns such as sexual dysfunction and those exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture within a nonjudgmental frame. Kurt helps clients talk through body image, chronic illness, and the emotional fallout of divorce or domestic violence without making assumptions about outcomes.

Starting therapy begins with a brief intake and a matching questionnaire. Kurt focuses on helping clients identify realistic goals and practical steps so they can move toward steadier daily functioning.

Approaches that guide online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques generally involve practical, goal-focused methods that help people change unhelpful patterns and cope better day to day. For example, structured problem-solving helps break large worries into smaller steps and teaches ways to test what works. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing life with ADHD.

Attachment-informed approaches pay attention to how early relationships shape current responses and communication. Working with attachment themes helps people who struggle with abandonment, codependency, or recurring relationship conflict notice patterns and try different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which techniques fit best based on goals, preferences, and what happens in early sessions. That means adjusting the plan as progress is made and as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows focused conversations about sexual concerns, kink, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress in the same practical, step-oriented style used in in-person work.
