About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems like depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and stress related to work or school. Kristin also addresses relationship conflict, grief, addictions, identity and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a core method and blends it with a client-centered approach that keeps conversations focused on the person's priorities. Kristin also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based ideas, and emotionally-focused techniques when helpful. These approaches are used to teach skills, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve emotional connection.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. That might include behavioral experiments, emotion regulation tools, or ways to communicate better in relationships. Kristin also works with themes such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues that arise in kink and alternative sexual cultures.
Her background includes a decade of work with culturally diverse adults and adolescents facing mental health challenges. Kristin aims to help people gain perspective, develop coping strategies, and challenge negative beliefs that hold them back. She invites straightforward conversation and a focus on what can change in daily life.
If you are dealing with early-adult pressures like leaving home, first jobs, relationship stress, or feeling behind, Kristin lists young adult issues among the areas she addresses and can help explore those concerns further.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it can be used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to test and shift beliefs. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and help people understand how early and current relationship dynamics affect feelings, trust, and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin works collaboratively with clients to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss what feels useful and adjust methods over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make therapy fit into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and letting people meet from wherever they are based. Therapists can also use screen-sharing for worksheets, guide behavioral experiments between meetings, and teach DBT coping skills that people can practice between sessions. These practical benefits help people balance therapy with school, work, and other commitments.
