About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has ten years of clinical experience helping adults and adolescents who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and stress. Kristin aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical for people under pressure.
She focuses on guiding clients through self-exploration so they can see patterns that keep them stuck. Kristin uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a person-centered stance to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include learning specific coping skills and testing small changes between meetings.
Kristin also draws on dialectical behavior skills and elements of emotionally-focused and attachment-based work when those perspectives fit a client's concerns. Her approach is flexible and rooted in real-life tasks rather than abstract theory. The goal is steady, manageable progress toward clearer thinking and healthier emotional responses.
Clients come for help with relationships, grief, identity and intimacy questions, addiction-related struggles, parenting stress, and codependency concerns among other issues. Kristin emphasizes building tools to handle mood shifts, distressing memories, and everyday pressures. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets priorities and Kristin offers structure, feedback, and practical strategies.
People who choose Kristin can expect direct conversation, measurable skills to practice between sessions, and gentle challenge of long-held beliefs that interfere with wellbeing. Her style is empathic and task-focused, aimed at helping clients take small steps that add up to change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work emphasizes how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, fear of abandonment, and trust. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and creating a nonjudgmental space for self-exploration. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Kristin will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help pick methods that fit those priorities. Over time the plan can change based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
