About Kristin
Kristin Ray is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of life changes that often show up in young adulthood. Kristin helps people who are navigating college, early careers, moving out, relationship shifts, and the pressure to figure things out fast.
She approaches therapy collaboratively and uses practical strategies to reduce anxious and low moods. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and patterns that keep someone stuck, and on building coping skills that fit everyday life. Kristin describes her work as trauma-informed and often includes techniques aimed at processing painful memories safely.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling and experience using approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused work. She combines talking, skill-building, and directed exercises depending on the person's goals.
In sessions she will listen, reflect what she hears, and offer tools to reframe intrusive thoughts and reduce overwhelm. She encourages people to set concrete, manageable goals - for sleep, routine, relationships, or work - and to track small changes that add up.
Kristin works with adults in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She notes that therapy is a collaborative process and that people choose which changes to aim for as they go.
How Kristin uses therapeutic approaches online
Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and motivation. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions for people affected by abuse or assault.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting to help people clarify their goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with the person about their needs and try methods that fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting as progress is made.
