About Kristin
Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and mood disorders. Kristin also addresses ADHD, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and LGBT concerns.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions emphasize reducing anxious and sad feelings while building coping skills that fit everyday life. Kristin listens, helps reframe intrusive or negative thoughts, and supports people who want to regain energy or direction.
Her approach draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolkit for processing trauma when appropriate.
Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are woven in to help with focus, avoiding rumination, and clarifying goals. She also addresses specific family-related concerns like blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin dynamics while keeping attention on the individual in the room.
People often come with sleep problems, anger, guilt and shame, body image or sexual concerns. Kristin works toward concrete skills for stress management, improved communication, and steadier mood regulation. She invites people to define goals and to shape sessions around what helps most.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used online and what they do
Kristin commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's priorities. This approach involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client wants to address, which helps when figuring out parenting or family-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting based on goals, comfort, and how someone responds. The plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around school or work, and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth. Kristin uses her listed clinical approaches to shape online sessions so they focus on clear skills and steady progress.
