About Kristin

Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, grief, and stress from work or school.

Kristin combines practical tools with a person-centered stance. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns.

Her sessions include skill-building from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused CBT when needed. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice difficult feelings and respond more calmly. Kristin aims to help clients develop coping skills and clearer ways of thinking about themselves and their problems.

She has experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and supports those dealing with issues such as addiction, eating concerns, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, and identity concerns in the LGBT community. Additional focuses include abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family stressors.

Kristin describes her role as a guide during self-exploration. She helps clients find new perspectives, practice coping skills, and test beliefs that no longer serve them. Sessions are aimed at practical change alongside better emotional understanding.

How Kristin applies EFT, CBT, and attachment ideas online

Kristin draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard emotions and the patterns those emotions create. EFT-focused work often looks at what feelings are showing up in difficult moments and how they connect to relationship and attachment patterns.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to consider how early bonds shape current ways of relating and reacting. That perspective helps people recognize repeated interaction styles and try new, more helpful responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice concrete skills for changing behaviors and moods.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit the client’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten the time spent traveling, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let people work without being on camera if that helps, and allow for using skills and tools in the context of daily life rather than only in the office.
