Kristin Ray, LPC

Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She uses straightforward, collaborative work to help clients name what matters and build practical coping skills. Kristin aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and restore a sense of agency and calm in daily life.

Kristin takes a trauma-informed approach and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space where people set the pace and goals. Cognitive techniques help reframe intrusive thoughts and reshape unhelpful patterns that keep stress and low mood alive.

She also integrates EMDR-style methods to address traumatic memories and mindfulness practices to bring attention back to the present moment. Motivational interviewing helps people move from thinking about change to taking steps that fit their life. Kristin combines these approaches based on what each person responds to.

Kristin has nine years of experience working with a range of concerns including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, sexual assault and abuse, sexual dysfunction, ADHD, and relationship and family challenges. She supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, guilt and shame, and multicultural issues.

People start by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work

Kristin combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead, helping clients set goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses EMDR-style methods to address traumatic memories when those approaches are appropriate. EMDR-style work aims to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories and can be useful for post-traumatic stress and past abuse. Kristin blends these approaches so sessions match what each person needs and responds to.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kristin will work collaboratively to choose methods based on a client’s goals, history, and comfort level. Together they review what’s working and make adjustments over time.
