About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or navigating life changes. She supports those facing mood disorders, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and questions about identity and self-esteem.
Kristin favors short, clear goals in sessions. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck. She teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and upsetting thoughts.
How Kristin works
Sessions focus on everyday steps that lead to relief and clearer decision making. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside a client-centered stance. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking and tries to understand each person’s experience without judgment.
She also brings in elements of dialectical behavior strategies and attachment-focused thinking when helpful. Kristin has worked with adults and adolescents from varied cultural backgrounds over the past decade. She offers support for challenges such as parenting strain, body image concerns, chronic health issues, and complex grief.
She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and sexual expression and kink-related questions in a nonjudgmental way. Sessions are aimed at helping people gain new perspectives, practice coping skills, and challenge beliefs that no longer serve them. Kristin presents options, suggests tools, and collaborates with each person to build a plan they can use in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood management. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current trust and closeness issues, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She explains options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts the plan based on what helps the person make progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact, quick check-ins, and written skills practice between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical strategies and emotional growth.
