Krista McKelvin , LPC

Krista McKelvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in both Oklahoma and Texas who brings more than 15 years of experience as a vocational counselor and psychotherapist. She has worked extensively with teens and adults facing concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, stress, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is open and easy going, with an emphasis on building rapport and creating a respectful, empathetic space. She approaches each person with sensitivity and compassion and focuses on treating clients as whole individuals rather than a list of symptoms. Krista combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and client-centered methods to shape conversations and treatment plans that respond to each client’s unique situation.

Krista prioritizes self-awareness as a foundation for change and helps clients identify practical steps toward their goals. She adapts dialogue and interventions to fit individual needs and preferences, aiming to support progress at a comfortable pace. She looks forward to partnering with clients who are ready to take the next steps in their personal growth.

Approaches Krista Uses in Online Therapy

Krista integrates client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches to guide online work in ways that fit each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their feelings and values so they can build self-understanding and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and short-term strategies, encouraging clients to set clear goals and identify small, achievable steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Krista works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods make the most sense for their goals, preferences, and life context. She tailors the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect from home or during work breaks, maintain continuity when life gets hectic, and practice new skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
