About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and grief. Kristin also supports people facing relationship conflict, work or school stress, and issues around identity and intimacy.
She bases her work on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with a person-centered approach. That means sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. Kristin also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused ideas, and trauma-informed techniques when useful.
Sessions tend to be practical and skills-oriented. Kristin helps people learn coping strategies, manage strong emotions, and challenge beliefs that hold them back. She uses clear exercises and homework to make progress between sessions.
Her experience includes treating adults and adolescents from varied cultural backgrounds. Kristin has worked with concerns that range from bipolar and addiction to body image, ADHD, and caregiving stress. She also addresses less common topics such as attachment issues and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture.
People who prefer direct, structured work that combines thought-based techniques with supportive listening may find this approach helpful. To begin, clients typically complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session that clarifies goals and next steps.
How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work
Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-informed ideas in her work. CBT focuses on tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others, which can help with intimacy and repeated conflict.Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions. Kristin helps clients decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT techniques for emotion regulation, or attachment-focused reflection based on goals and what feels most useful. She frames this as a collaborative process where methods can shift as needs change.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time. Kristin’s work uses concrete exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients practice skills between meetings.
