Kristin Kenny , LPC

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She has supported adults and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds as they work through depression, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, relationship conflict, and stress related to work or school. Kristin approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which self-exploration fosters lasting growth, and she positions herself as a guide to help clients navigate that journey.

Her practice is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy - a method that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - while integrating a person-centered stance that prioritizes each client’s values and lived experience. Kristin also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness techniques to tailor treatment to individual needs. These combined approaches aim to help clients develop practical coping skills, reframe limiting beliefs, and gain broader perspectives on their challenges.

For treatment, Kristin hopes clients emerge with new ways of relating to themselves and others, improved strategies for managing life’s stressors, and greater confidence in challenging beliefs that no longer serve them. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and offers steady support throughout the healing process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and experiences, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore emotions and strengthen self-understanding - it can be helpful for relationship struggles, identity questions, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and is useful for intense emotions, conflict in relationships, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to align with each person’s progress and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or engage through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can provide consistent support through these formats, helping clients access treatment in ways that suit their daily lives.
