About Kristin

Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, collaborative therapy. She uses talk, skill-building, and evidence-based tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, and low mood. Kristin keeps sessions straightforward and centered on what you need right now.

She invites clients to set goals and helps them take small, manageable steps toward those goals. Kristin uses a trauma-informed lens and draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address painful memories and troubling thought patterns.

Background and approach

She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational techniques to build coping skills that fit daily life. Sessions often include learning breathing and grounding strategies, practicing new ways of thinking, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including family and parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and stress related to work or life transitions. Kristin also supports people coping with trauma, grief, and sexual assault or abuse, as well as those dealing with body image, self-esteem, or multicultural concerns.

Kristin holds a Master of Science in Counseling and is licensed in Texas as LPC 72111. She has nine years of clinical experience and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to match different needs and schedules.

She encourages an approachable pace and focuses on practical strategies parents and adults can use between sessions. Kristin aims to create a clear plan each week so progress feels visible and doable.

How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online

Kristin blends cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address anxious thoughts and painful memories. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors through simple exercises and homework. EMDR uses guided attention and structured processing to reduce the intensity of distress tied to traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will listen to your goals and concerns and recommend methods that fit your needs and comfort level. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video and phone let you have conversations much like in-person visits, while chat and messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options give flexibility for parents and busy adults to keep therapy consistent and practical.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
