About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood shifts, grief, or the daily weight of stress. Parents and adults often turn to her for help managing ADHD-related challenges, relationship strain, or trouble with self-esteem.
Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and building skills that work in everyday life.
Background and approach
Kristin uses straightforward techniques to interrupt unhelpful thoughts and to build routines that improve daily functioning. Kristin blends cognitive behavioral strategies with a client-centered approach. That means she helps people test thoughts and behaviors while keeping the person's goals and values at the center.
She also draws on emotion-focused and skills-based methods when a client needs help with intense feelings or coping strategies. She has worked with adults and adolescents from varied cultural backgrounds, addressing grief, trauma, school or work stressors, and mood disorders. Kristin aims to help people gain new perspectives, stronger coping skills, and fewer self-defeating beliefs.
The process begins with talking through current struggles and priorities. Kristin sees therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s pace and goals guide the work. Her approach emphasizes small, practical steps that add up to lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kristin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based approaches in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people build healthier ways of relating.She approaches the choice of method collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current difficulties, and personal preferences, and then suggest approaches that fit. That plan can be adjusted over time as needs change so the work stays relevant and targeted.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Text and chat formats let clients check in between sessions or use written reflection when that feels easiest. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity of care when schedules change.
