About Kristin

Kristin Danner, LCSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns. Her first aim is to help people find practical ways to manage day-to-day pressure and regain a sense of control.

Kristin draws on approaches that focus on how relationships and patterns shape feelings. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills. She also works with attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships influence current reactions.

Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. Kristin helps set clear, manageable steps so progress feels tangible. She emphasizes small, steady changes that stack into lasting improvement over time.

With 11 years of clinical experience, Kristin brings steady, calm support to the work. She frames healing as an active process where the person in therapy is the main agent of change. Kristin offers a collaborative partnership to identify priorities and try realistic strategies that fit everyday life.

Kristin practices in Texas as an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She offers care in English and focuses on meeting each person where they are. To begin, people choose a Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on practical exercises and experiments you can try between sessions to reduce worry and improve mood.

She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal techniques. DBT tools can be especially useful when emotions feel intense or crises arise.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions often focus on identifying priorities and trying a few different strategies to see what fits best.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so progress continues between visits.
