About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical work. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and struggles with intimacy-related issues and addictions.

Kristin uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She leans on cognitive behavioral therapy, and pairs it with a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals first. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused ideas, and attachment-based thinking when they fit a person’s needs.

In the room she focuses on helping people notice patterns, test unhelpful beliefs, and build small, usable coping skills. Sessions include talk, skill practice, and steps to try between meetings. The aim is clearer perspective and tools to handle everyday challenges.

Her background includes work with adults and adolescents from varied cultural backgrounds, addressing issues such as grief, school or work stress, and conflict in relationships. Over ten years she has supported people through mood and anxiety concerns, trauma and abuse, and conditions like bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Kristin describes her role as a guide during self-exploration. She encourages collaborative goal-setting and pace that feels manageable. This approach is aimed at measurable changes in how people cope and relate to themselves and others.

How Kristin's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy sees relationships and early patterns as important. It helps people notice how past bonds shape current reactions and aims to build steadier ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world steps. It is practical work for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns that teaches skills to change patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan when needed so the work feels useful.

If you want online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, offer shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people join from locations that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people build skills, process emotions, and practice new ways of relating without promising a specific outcome.
