About Kristin

Kristin Danner is an LCSW based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and LGBTQ concerns. She draws on 11 years of clinical work to support people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Kristin writes that starting therapy takes courage, and she aims to make that first step feel manageable.

Kristin frames therapy as a chance to rewrite parts of your story. Sessions focus on building emotional strength and practical coping skills. She works with clients to set small, concrete goals and to notice patterns that keep problems going.

Her approach mixes attachment-based ideas with skills-focused therapies. That means attention to how early relationships shape current choices, plus tools for managing strong emotions and unhelpful thinking. Kristin uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach grounding, emotion regulation, and thought reframing.

She also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods into sessions to help people clarify what matters to them and move toward it. These methods aim to break big problems into doable steps and to keep progress realistic and measurable.

Kristin’s work includes attention to codependency, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and blended family concerns. She encourages collaboration so each person’s goals guide the plan. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online

Many of Kristin’s core methods translate well to remote work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions; online sessions use conversation and reflection to uncover these patterns and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through exercises and small experiments between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kristin partners with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and situation. Together they review what helps, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and focused.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as session formats are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use homework and skills practice in their real routines, which can speed up learning and make changes more relevant to everyday challenges.
