About Kristin
Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers sessions on what each person needs. She listens first, then helps reframe intrusive thoughts and build coping skills. Kristin focuses on easing anxiety and low mood while helping clients find their direction again.
Her approach is collaborative. She asks what matters to the client and tailors strategies to those goals. Kristin uses practical tools to reduce anxious feelings and manage sadness, with attention to healthy day-to-day habits.
Background and approach
She has nine years of counseling experience and holds a Master of Science in Counseling. Kristin draws on several therapy methods to match each person's situation rather than relying on a single technique. She frames therapy as a process they shape together.
Kristin works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports issues related to self-esteem, sleep, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include blended family issues, body image, and multicultural concerns.
Practical problem solving is part of sessions, along with attention to feelings and patterns that keep problems going. Kristin uses a steady, encouraging style to help people make small changes that add up. She provides therapy in English and practices from Texas.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Kristin commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage anxiety and mood concerns. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating a person’s experience, and shaping the work around their goals; it helps when someone needs an empathetic space to sort feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises for reframing negative thoughts and changing unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.She takes a collaborative stance when deciding which approach to use. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then choose methods together. That way the plan can change as progress is made or as goals shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when daily tracking of mood and coping tools helps progress. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
