About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and intimacy or relationship questions. Kristin aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear. She focuses on practical skills people can use right away. Kristin often helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions emphasize learning tools for day-to-day life, building stronger emotional awareness, and shifting beliefs that hold people back. Her work combines cognitive behavioral techniques with a person-centered stance that keeps the client's goals central. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and emotion-focused practices to address intense emotions and relationship patterns. When trauma is part of the picture, she includes trauma-informed strategies alongside mindfulness work. Clients can expect a collaborative process where the counselor and client set goals together. Kristin describes her role as a guide who helps people explore themselves and practice different coping strategies. Treatment often aims to reduce symptoms, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve relationship skills. Kristin has experience with a broad range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, parenting stress, body image, and many attachment-related issues. She works in English and maintains her practice in Texas.

How Kristin's approaches translate to online work

Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas that fit well into conversations over video or phone. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors, which often becomes homework and simple skill practice between sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how past bonds shape current reactions, which is useful when addressing intimacy and jealousy concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative, matching techniques to a client's goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That way clients try manageable steps and adjust based on what helps. Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work from a quieter room, use less bandwidth with an audio session, or keep a consistent schedule around work or school commitments. Discuss format and timing when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday life.
