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 navigate depression, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders, as well as grief, relationship conflict, and stress related to work or school. Kristin approaches therapy with a belief that meaningful growth often begins through self-exploration, and she sees her role as a guide who helps clients build insight and practical skills.

Her practice is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy - a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - combined with a person-centered orientation that emphasizes empathy and respect for each client s unique perspective. Kristin also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic techniques, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to individual needs.

Through treatment, Kristin aims to help clients gain new perspectives, develop coping strategies for life s stressors, and challenge negative beliefs that no longer serve them. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and provides supportive guidance throughout the healing process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Kristin draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties, offering concrete tools for day-to-day coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client s innate capacity for growth by creating an accepting, empathetic therapeutic atmosphere where personal insight and self-direction are central. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for clients managing intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristin collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains practical and relevant. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment decisions and fosters steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Working with licensed professionals in these formats can increase accessibility and continuity of care while allowing clients to receive support from their chosen setting.
