About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing common struggles such as depression, anxiety, mood challenges, grief, and stress related to work or school. Kristin aims to guide clients through self-exploration so they can find practical ways to feel better and cope day to day.

Kristin works with adults and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds. She supports people who are dealing with relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, addictions, and identity questions such as LGBT issues. She also addresses parenting strain, eating and body image concerns, anger and self-esteem struggles, and changes that follow major life events.

Her practice blends cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person in the room. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and emotionally-focused ideas to help people manage strong emotions and improve important relationships.

In sessions, Kristin aims to teach coping skills, offer new perspectives, and challenge beliefs that get in the way of moving forward. She uses straightforward exercises and discussion to build skills people can use between meetings. Kristin’s approach emphasizes collaboration and practical tools rather than labels or jargon.

People seeking support are invited to consider what matters most to them and to bring those goals to the first meeting. Kristin’s practice includes attention to trauma, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, and a broad range of life stressors.

How Kristin's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape expectations in current connections; it helps people notice patterns in closeness and trust and try different ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, creating space for honest reflection and practical problem solving. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kristin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. She works collaboratively so the plan can be adjusted over time if something is not helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer disruptions to daily routines. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit meetings into work or school breaks, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations without rearranging a whole day. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current online options before booking to see what Kristin offers and how sessions are scheduled.
