Kait Maldonado, LPC-Associate

Kait earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2026. She also brings more than 15 years of experience in corporate leadership, including work in human resources, communications, and management. Her background has strengthened her skills in communication, change management, and conflict resolution.

 Kait strives to provide an accepting and validating environment where clients can openly process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Her primary therapeutic approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients develop psychological flexibility, practice acceptance, clarify their values, and take meaningful action toward the life they want to build. She also incorporates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and strengthen interpersonal effectiveness.

 Kait is especially interested in helping clients build resilience, manage anxiety, and create a life supported by positive coping skills and values-driven behaviors. She also has a strong interest in restorative sleep and fatigue management, including helping clients address sleep-related anxiety, establish healthier routines, and better understand the connection between sleep, stress, mood, and overall well-being.

 Suicide prevention is another area that is close to Kait’s heart. She is committed to helping clients feel heard, supported, and empowered during periods of crisis or emotional distress. She believes that strengthening connection, developing effective coping skills, and helping individuals identify meaningful reasons for living can support safety and long-term well-being.

 Kait works primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, addiction concerns, sleep difficulties, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She also helps clients improve interpersonal relationships, clarify their personal values, and make steady progress toward meaningful goals.

Outside of counseling, Kait enjoys hiking, gardening, cooking, and learning Italian.

 Kait is available for virtual sessions for Texas residents. She practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Cheryl Butler, LPC-S.
