Kristy Paddack , LPC

Kristy Paddack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She aims to offer steady support while clients take steps toward feeling better. Seeking help can feel hard and she works alongside each person during that process.

Kristy emphasizes that clients know their own stories best and that small strengths can add up to real change. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of coping. Conversations are straightforward and practical so clients leave with things to use between visits.

Her background includes many years working with concerns related to substance use and trauma, and she also addresses family of origin issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship communication problems. She brings experience across grief, divorce, and domestic violence situations and supports people navigating adoption, foster care, or abandonment histories.

Kristy offers care in English and accepts international clients. She provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. Kristy aims to help people find practical steps toward greater well-being.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Kristy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach she uses centers on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. This can be useful when anxiety or daily stress makes it hard to function.

She also emphasizes trauma-informed care that helps people process past hurts at a pace they can tolerate. This involves building safety, learning grounding strategies, and practicing ways to reduce reactivity when memories or triggers arise. That work can support healing from abuse, violence, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristy will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust as things change. She treats the therapeutic plan as something to develop together rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face when convenient, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat and text messaging give quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to communicate when a full session isn't possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life and keep momentum toward goals.
