About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with a decade of experience. She focuses on helping adults and adolescents navigate worry, low mood, relationship conflict, grief, and stress. Kristin aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for someone reaching out during a hard time.
She starts by listening and helping people name what matters most to them. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then build small steps to change those patterns. Kristin uses a client-centered stance, so the goals come from the person in the room rather than a fixed plan.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape coping. These tools are blended to match each person's needs.
Kristin has experience with issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar mood challenges, addictions, eating concerns, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, chronic illness, and aging concerns.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Kristin helps people practice new skills between sessions and checks progress together. If someone wants to begin, she asks them about their goals and works with them to make a clear plan.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Kristin commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce worry or low mood. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and coping, and it helps people change patterns that cause distress.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming. The aim is to give tools that can be used between sessions, not just talked about in the room. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule during a work break, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life moments into conversation with the therapist.
