About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and a wide range of life pressures. Kristin focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.

She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas alongside a person-centered stance to shape sessions. That means conversations center on each person’s values and goals while also teaching tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Kristin also brings in techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when those fit a person's needs.

Her practice includes help for relationship conflict, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, substance issues, and questions around identity such as LGBT matters. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image, and issues that come from attachment wounds and abandonment experiences.

Kristin favors clear, focused sessions where clients learn skills and try small, manageable changes between meetings. She encourages self-exploration and uses evidence-based strategies to address symptoms while keeping conversations grounded and personal.

Sessions are available in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kristin works with people across adult age ranges and helps them build coping skills, challenge limiting beliefs, and move toward the next chapter of their lives.

How approaches like CBT and attachment work online

Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include simple homework, like tracking thoughts or trying new behaviors between meetings, which translates well to video or text check-ins.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. That work focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and practicing new ways of connecting and communicating during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins or faster exchanges, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill-building.
