About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood concerns, and problems around relationships and parenting. Kristin aims to help people gain practical coping skills and a clearer view of what’s getting in their way.

She asks clients to explore their own stories so they can spot unhelpful patterns. Sessions often focus on skill-building and changing thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Kristin uses a person-centered stance, so the conversation follows each person’s concerns and goals.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for learning new coping strategies and on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are needed. She also brings attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions.

Kristin has worked with people from varied cultural backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns, including grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and body-image struggles, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and collaborative - she helps people try new tools and notice what works.

People who choose Kristin can expect straightforward conversations, skill practice, and a focus on small changes that add up. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

How Kristin’s approaches work in online therapy

Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT gives concrete tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments to try between sessions.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape reactions today. This approach helps people notice connection patterns and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods together. That collaboration helps choose whether to emphasize skills practice, relational exploration, or both.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, school, or caregiving. It can shorten commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work on skills between sessions without rearranging their whole day. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to the client’s needs and practical constraints rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.
