Kristen Welton, LCSW

Kristen Welton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, grief, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Kristen also helps people cope with bipolar disorder and life changes such as divorce and midlife transition.

Her work often centers on attachment and communication. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people notice patterns that get in the way of connection. Sessions typically address problems like codependency, control issues, and difficulty setting boundaries.

Kristen draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for managing strong emotions and obsessive thinking. She also uses client-centered and motivational approaches to support decision-making and movement toward goals. This combination helps people build new routines and respond differently in triggering moments.

She has experience supporting those dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and those navigating postpartum depression and mood disorders. Her work includes helping people handle guilt, shame, isolation, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.

People who meet with Kristen can expect straightforward talk about behaviors and choices, help practicing communication skills, and focused work on repairing attachment patterns. She encourages realistic steps for coping and clearer daily habits rather than quick fixes.
