About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or big life changes. Kristin works in a straightforward, calm way so people can talk through hard moments and learn new coping skills.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside a client-centered style. That means sessions often focus on practical skills and on understanding what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Kristin also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches when relationships or past hurts are central to the struggle. Kristin has supported adults and adolescents from varied cultural backgrounds. She has worked with concerns such as grief, relationship conflict, stress from work or school, mood disorders, substance issues, and identity or intimacy questions.
She aims to help people break unhelpful thought patterns and build more useful routines. In the room she helps clients identify patterns, practice new ways of coping, and test different perspectives. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and reflection tailored to the person’s goals.
Kristin frames therapy as a collaboration where the client’s values guide next steps. Her goal is to help people gain clearer thinking, better emotion regulation, and tools to handle stressors. Kristin encourages steady progress rather than overnight fixes, and she works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
