Kristin Ray

Kristin Ray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She emphasizes a collaborative approach where the person sets goals and Kristin helps shape practical steps toward them. Her work centers on reducing anxious or low moods and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

Kristin uses straightforward, trauma-informed care to help people move past upsetting memories and intrusive thoughts. She combines client-centered listening with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness. This mix aims to quiet unhelpful thinking and strengthen coping habits that stick.

Over nine years in the field, Kristin has supported people facing mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and depression as well as those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues. She also addresses concerns such as parenting stress, blended family challenges, body image, sexual assault and abuse, and multicultural stressors. Anger and trouble sleeping are also areas she commonly addresses.

Her training includes EMDR, which she uses when past trauma or vivid memories are getting in the way of daily life. Kristin also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find the motivation for change and solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable steps.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while keeping the person's values central. People interested in starting are encouraged to complete the intake steps on the site so they can match with Kristin and schedule an initial appointment.

How Kristin’s approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the hold of distressing memories and can help when past events are causing present symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. She tailors the mix of listening, skill teaching, and trauma-focused work to what the person wants to change and how they respond in early sessions.

The profile does not list which specific session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require. They also let people try different tools like mindfulness exercises or CBT techniques in the context of daily routines, which can speed up applying new skills outside sessions.
