    About Kristin

    Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses Motivational Interviewing and practical tools to help people reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle life changes. Her style aims to be encouraging and collaborative so clients help set the pace and goals.

    She focuses on easing anxious and sad feelings while teaching coping skills that fit everyday life. Kristin works with concerns like stress, depression, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career-related stress.

    Kristin draws on a range of approaches to suit each person. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and Mindfulness techniques to build calm. She also includes EMDR and Motivational Interviewing when appropriate for trauma processing and helping people find internal motivation.

    With nine years of clinical experience, Kristin brings steady guidance and practical strategies. She aims to reduce distress and build skills people can use between sessions. Kristin tends to keep language direct and simple so parents and busy adults can take in ideas quickly.

    Kristin holds a Master of Science in Counseling and practices in Texas as an LPC. Her approach is collaborative, and she invites clients to shape what happens in sessions.

  2. How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work

    Kristin commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons for change and to build momentum toward personal goals. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the client’s concerns and pace rather than a preset agenda.

    She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, especially for anxiety and mood problems. EMDR and mindfulness techniques are used when trauma processing or stress-reduction tools fit a person’s needs. Each approach is explained in simple terms and matched to the concern at hand.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin collaborates with each client to decide which techniques make sense based on their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress and needs change.

    If you are interested in online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for follow-up between visits. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while focusing on practical tools you can use day to day.
