About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and stress. Kristin aims to help people find better ways to cope and to change negative beliefs that hold them back.

Her style centers on guided self-exploration. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Kristin uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a person-centered stance to help clients test ideas and build useful skills.

She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused ideas when they fit a client's goals. These approaches add emotion regulation and relationship-focused work to the tools she uses. Mindfulness and trauma-focused strategies are used as needed to support recovery and stability.

Over the past decade Kristin has worked with people from a range of cultural backgrounds and life situations. She helps with grief, relationship conflict, school and work stress, and longer-term mood struggles. Her aim is to guide clients toward clearer perspectives and better day-to-day coping.

Kristin encourages practical change. Expect skill-building, thought work, and attention to emotional patterns. Her approach is straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps toward improvement.

Step 3

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It looks at emotional bonds and helps people notice and shift ways of relating that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. CBT often includes homework and simple tools to change mood and routine.

Choosing an approach is a team process. Kristin will work with each person to find what fits their goals and daily life. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and realistic.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets or mindfulness exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment-informed work to an online setting, focusing on skills, emotional awareness, and practical steps to cope with daily stressors.
