About Kristi
Kristi McClatchy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Kristi also notes an interest in family of origin issues and attachment concerns that show up in adult relationships.
She works with adults who want to understand how early family roles and expectations still shape their choices and emotions. Sessions include talking through current stressors and identifying patterns that began in childhood. She uses straightforward explanations about attachment styles and helps people notice how those patterns affect trust and closeness in relationships.
Kristi draws on several approaches in session. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to map relationship patterns and Client-Centered methods to follow the person’s priorities. Mindfulness practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for managing intense emotions and building coping tools.
She also integrates trauma-focused strategies when past hurts are present, and uses creative options like writing, movement, music, or art when that fits a person’s way of processing. Kristi describes herself as queer-allied and uses Feminist and postmodern perspectives to look at how social context influences personal struggles.
Her experience includes work in non-profits, day treatment programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and any practical details through the platform’s scheduling steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kristi draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people map how early relationships shaped current patterns. This approach focuses on identifying attachment styles and practical steps to build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy is used to follow the person’s priorities and keep conversation focused on what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced between sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Kristi will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the mix as needs change. The process is about figuring out what helps most in day-to-day life, not fitting someone into a single label.
Session-format details should be confirmed before booking. If you prefer remote work, check the platform’s scheduling steps to see which session options are offered with her profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time so people can use the time for other tasks before or after a session.
