About Kristin
Kristin Ray is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Kristin focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and build everyday coping skills.
She uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe negative thinking and on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on a person's goals. She also incorporates EMDR and mindfulness practices when those approaches fit the concern.
Sessions emphasize learning concrete skills for sleep, managing anger, and handling life changes like separation or career shifts. Kristin supports people working through family-of-origin issues, blended family stress, and communication problems by helping them identify small changes that improve daily interactions.
Her work includes attention to trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse, and to mood issues including bipolar disorder and depression. She also addresses areas like body image, self-harm, and sexual dysfunction with practical coping strategies and step-by-step planning.
Kristin takes a collaborative approach. Clients help set the goals and decide which tools to try. New clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.
How Kristin integrates CBT, EMDR and client-centered work online
Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be reviewed between meetings.She also uses client-centered approaches that focus on what the person wants to work on, offering reflective listening and practical goal setting. When trauma is a focus, EMDR may be incorporated as a method to process distressing memories alongside stabilizing skills and grounding techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice guides how sessions are structured and which tools are used.
