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 coping with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship concerns. Kristin focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and think more clearly.
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and a client-centered approach to tailor care to each person's needs. Sessions often include learning new skills, spotting patterns in thinking and behavior, and practicing different ways of responding to stress. Kristin also brings ideas from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when they fit a person's goals.
Her style emphasizes self-exploration led by the client, with the therapist acting as a guide. Kristin aims to help people gain perspective, develop coping skills, and challenge unhelpful beliefs. She names everyday habits and thoughts as a key focus area and supports people in changing those patterns.
Kristin has experience with a wide range of concerns, including grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and identity-related challenges. She has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with both adults and adolescents. The approach is practical and collaborative, with attention to what feels useful in daily life.
To begin, she asks clients to reflect on their goals and to try small, manageable changes between sessions. The work aims to build skills that people can use outside therapy to manage mood, relationships, and day-to-day stressors.

How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work
Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy in many sessions, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit change.She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes the person’s goals and pace. That means sessions are shaped by what the client wants to focus on and the therapist listens and reflects to help people clarify their next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin works together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time.
