About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and related concerns. Kristin aims to make therapy clear and useful, guiding people toward better coping skills and clearer thinking.
She keeps language simple and practical so parents and busy adults can follow along easily. Kristin draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses a client-centered stance that puts the person’s goals and values first. When helpful, she adds skills from dialectical behavior therapy and elements of emotionally-focused and attachment-based work to address relationship patterns and intense emotions. In sessions she helps people identify patterns that cause pain and practices new ways of responding.
Parents who worry about their reactions, daily routines, or a child’s behavior can talk through concrete steps and skills. Kristin pays attention to grief, addiction concerns, eating and body image issues, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy challenges. Her approach is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Kristin emphasizes building practical coping tools and shifting beliefs that get in the way of everyday functioning. She works in English and offers online formats for flexible scheduling. Kristin holds Texas license TX LPC 76704.
Her practice supports people dealing with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic health concerns, and a wide range of emotional issues using clear, hands-on methods.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-centered therapy places the client's goals and experiences at the center of sessions, encouraging practical self-exploration and decision making.These approaches are discussed and chosen together. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person’s goals, needs, and day-to-day reality. That means plans can change as progress is made or as new challenges come up.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and use shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. Kristin tailors the online format to what helps a person engage and practice new skills between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
