About Kristin

Kristin Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings three years of experience as an LPC and focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, relationships, and family concerns.

Kristin works with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

Background and approach

Kristin listens first and then helps clients build skills they can use day to day. She uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods to address clear goals. Sessions typically focus on concrete steps and coping practices rather than long theoretical talks.

Parents and caregivers may find her approach useful when managing blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, communication or control struggles, and caregiver stress. She also addresses addiction concerns such as drug and alcohol problems and codependency when these affect family functioning. Kristin notes additional attention to matters like abandonment, body image, and family-of-origin patterns.

Kristin speaks English and accepts international clients. Her license is TX LPC 64874. For most people she emphasizes steady, doable change and practical coping tools that fit into busy family life.

Background and approach: Kristin trained in counseling at the master’s level and has clinical experience in hospital settings and outpatient work. She values working with clients as their own experts, guiding choices and building skills that support healthier daily routines and relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting people where they are. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client's lead, and supports personal insight so the client can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical exercises to change patterns and reduce symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristin will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting techniques over time as progress happens. That collaborative tuning helps make sessions relevant and useful.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets families and busy caregivers fit therapy into their schedules. Remote work can reduce travel time, offer more scheduling options, and allow follow-up between sessions using messaging when appropriate. These formats support steady skill building and check-ins while keeping therapy flexible for everyday life.

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.
