About Kristin

Kristin Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She welcomes straightforward conversations about feeling overwhelmed, finding motivation, and handling life changes. Kristin brings a calm, respectful attitude and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Her approach centers on listening closely and building on what already works. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift them.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are offered to ease intense moments and improve focus. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to find clearer reasons to change. Kristin combines practical skills with steady support.

Sessions often include short exercises, goal-setting, and reviewing what helped between meetings. She likes to break larger problems into small steps that feel doable. With three years of professional experience, Kristin aims to make therapy feel direct and useful.

She focuses on real-life concerns such as parenting day-to-day stress, workplace pressure, social anxiety, attachment or communication difficulties, and body image worries. The tone in sessions is encouraging and down-to-earth. Kristin believes courage is involved in starting therapy and wants to help people use their strengths.

She works in English and practices in Texas as LPC 89129. If someone prefers a practical, step-by-step style, she can tailor tools to their goals and pace.

Approaches for online parenting and stress work

Kristin uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions start by listening closely and shaping goals around what matters to the client, which helps with motivation and decision-making.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed stress and anxiety. CBT offers simple exercises to try between sessions, useful for parenting routines, workplace pressure, or daily worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will talk through what feels most useful and try techniques collaboratively, adjusting methods to match goals and preferences rather than sticking to one plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy days, review short exercises quickly, and follow up between meetings. For many people, that convenience helps keep momentum while using practical tools to manage stress and parenting challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
