About Kristin

Kristin Danner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and other mood challenges. Kristin also lists family of origin issues among her areas of focus.

She uses practical, talk-based sessions to help people name the patterns that keep repeating in their lives. Sessions often look at what happened in early family relationships and how that affects current choices and reactions. Kristin combines straightforward coping skills with attention to emotion and attachment needs.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her help with thought patterns, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, and setting small goals that can change daily life.

Kristin aims to help clients reduce overwhelming feelings and build clearer ways of relating to others. She works on concrete skills like communication, boundary-setting, and coping strategies for stress and anxiety. For people who want to untangle how family roles shaped them, she talks through those patterns and practical next steps.

Start points often include assessing immediate stressors and picking simple strategies to try between sessions. Kristin invites steady, readable changes rather than quick fixes, and she helps clients track what is actually working in day-to-day life.

How Kristin’s approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current closeness and trust. In sessions this often means looking at patterns that repeat in adult relationships and practicing different responses to those patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Online work with CBT can include setting small experiments, tracking thoughts and testing new ways of responding to stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Those skills can be taught and practiced in session and used between meetings to reduce reactivity.

Kristin treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will help clients decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adjust the plan as progress and challenges become clearer.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and avoid travel time. Discuss practical preferences at the first meeting so scheduling and session length match everyday life.
