Kristin Ray , LPC

Kristin Ray is a trauma-informed therapist who takes a collaborative approach, inviting each person to shape their work together and decide how therapy can help achieve their goals. She focuses on reducing anxious feelings and sadness while teaching practical coping skills tailored to individual needs, helping clients reframe intrusive negative thoughts and regain motivation.

With a Master of Science in Counseling, Kristin practices as an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and she brings specialized training in EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - as well as approval as a CPT provider, which refers to cognitive processing therapy. Those trainings complement her client-centered focus and allow her to integrate evidence-based strategies when addressing trauma, mood concerns, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and stress-related issues.

Kristin emphasizes a supportive, encouraging presence aimed at unlocking each personâs potential and restoring a sense of balance. She works alongside clients to identify realistic goals and builds coping techniques that fit their life, whether the emphasis is on symptom relief, improving relationships, or navigating major life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kristin Ray

Kristin integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR into her practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving clients space to set goals and determine the pace of work while the therapist provides empathy and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve coping in daily life. EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Kristin works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, values, and goals and then tailors techniques from these methods to fit the clientâs preferences and progress, involving clients in decisions about treatment direction.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other obligations. For many people, remote sessions increase access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue consistently during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult.
