Kristin Kenny , LPC

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through a wide range of mental health concerns. She has worked with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds to address depression, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, relationship conflict, and stressors related to work or school. Kristin approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, guiding clients through self-exploration to uncover new perspectives and build practical coping strategies.

Her work is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, while she integrates a person-centered stance that honors each individual’s pace and personal values. Kristin also weaves in techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness to tailor interventions to each client’s needs.

Clients who work with Kristin can expect support aimed at challenging negative beliefs, developing skills to manage life’s stressors, and strengthening resilience. She recognizes how challenging it can be to seek help and offers steady, compassionate guidance throughout the healing process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristin draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and to practice concrete skills for shifting those patterns; CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes the individual’s values and lived experience, creating space for clients to set the pace and goals of work together. Additionally, elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are incorporated when clients need skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kristin collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, school, family, or health-related constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations within Texas, and choose the communication style that feels most workable for each client.
