About Kristin
Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, sadness, and anger. She focuses on practical coping skills and helping people regain energy and motivation.
Kristin describes her approach as collaborative. She listens first and helps clients decide what will be most useful. She uses cognitive tools to reframe negative intrusive thoughts and builds skills for managing intense emotions. Sessions emphasize reducing anxious feelings and improving mood through concrete strategies.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling and training in EMDR, along with approval to provide cognitive processing therapy. She brings these methods into sessions when they fit the client's goals. Kristin emphasizes working together to choose techniques that feel manageable.
In practice she blends client-centered listening with structured techniques. That means time to talk things through alongside exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and find small ways to change them.
People contact her for a range of life stressors. That includes relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, career strain, sleep problems, and recovery after trauma or sexual assault. She also supports those facing identity and multicultural challenges and mood disorders.
How Kristin integrates therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people identify what matters most to them. This approach helps with motivation and deciding practical next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, anger, low mood, and sleep difficulties because it teaches specific skills to change thinking and behavior.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for processing traumatic memories. It can reduce the emotional intensity tied to past events and is often used for post-traumatic stress and sexual assault recovery.
Choosing the right approach usually happens together. Kristin will talk about options, listen to goals, and try methods that fit how a person prefers to work. That collaborative planning helps decide whether short skill-focused work or deeper trauma work is best.
If you want to know which online session formats she offers, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Therapists often adapt activities so techniques like CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, or EMDR processing can be used effectively through virtual sessions.
