About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship conflict, and anger. Sessions are aimed at helping people gain practical skills and clearer perspective rather than quick fixes.
Kris draws on cognitive behavioral therapy as a core framework. She also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes the person's own goals and preferences. This means conversations focus on what is most useful to the client and on building concrete coping strategies.
She integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Kristin includes trauma-informed techniques and mindfulness practices when they fit a person's needs. These tools are used to reduce reactive patterns and to manage overwhelming feelings more effectively.
Kristin has experience working with adults and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds. She has supported people dealing with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviors, and stress related to work or caregiving. That background informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic short-term goals.
The practical aim of her work is to help people challenge unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and strengthen relationships. Kristin approaches sessions as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide each step. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the provider's intake steps.
How sessions work
How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work
Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing anger by testing new responses to everyday triggers.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques give specific strategies for staying calm during intense feelings and for repairing strained interactions. In addition, her client-centered approach keeps sessions focused on the person's priorities and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kristin will help clients decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences through early conversations and ongoing feedback. She frames this as a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what proves helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose whether they want to use video or another format if that helps them engage more consistently.
