About Kristin
Kristin Ray is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She listens with attention and helps people name what feels hard. Kristin focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions to feel steadier day to day.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Kristin also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, to address past trauma that still affects daily life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when clients want tools for calm and clearer decisions. Her work often centers on relationships, self-esteem, sleep problems, career stress, and the strain of parenting. She supports people dealing with depression, bipolar mood struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Anger and intimacy-related issues are also areas she helps people understand and manage. Kristin has nine years of experience providing counseling in Texas. She describes therapy as collaborative - the person and therapist decide together what will help most.
Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes rather than long abstract discussions. People who choose Kristin can expect straightforward conversation, concrete coping strategies, and a plan that fits their daily life. She helps clients set small goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Kristin uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person's goals. This approach focuses on active listening, reflecting what matters to you, and helping you choose practical next steps that fit your life.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, which can be practiced between sessions. EMDR is another approach she incorporates for people who want to address past trauma that still affects them today; it aims to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories and make daily life easier to manage.
Kristin treats the choice of approach as a team effort. She will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences, and together you decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor a plan that fits your pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you read facial cues and work interactively. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while adapting to changing schedules and circumstances.
