About Kristin
Kristin Ray is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Kristin also supports people facing family concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and questions tied to identity, including LGBT matters.
Her approach centers on collaborative work. Kristin uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills for coping with anxiety, managing mood, improving sleep, and handling anger. People can expect talk aimed at noticing patterns, trying small changes, and strengthening problem-solving. Kristin pays attention to how family of origin issues show up in current relationships and choices.
She also offers work aimed at processing traumatic memories and intense reactions when that fits a client's goals. That can include approaches that use guided processing to reduce the hold of traumatic reminders and lessen distressing symptoms.
Kristin frames therapy as a process of testing what helps and adjusting along the way. She invites clients to set goals, try concrete tools between sessions, and review progress. Her practice is suited to adults seeking focused, practical work on anxiety, depression, family patterns, and life transitions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach allow the conversation to stay focused on what matters most and on setting practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors; online CBT can include brief skill practice, thought records, and homework between visits. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) offers guided processing for distressing memories and reactions; when appropriate, elements of this work can be adapted into remote sessions under the therapist's guidance.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins between in-person appointments. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, length, and any practical adjustments so sessions work with everyday life.
