About Kristin

Kristin Danner is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and LGBTQ concerns. She brings 11 years of practice in Texas to each session and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Kristin uses straightforward conversation to find what feels most useful.

She listens for patterns that cause pain, then helps clients build different habits and ways of relating. Sessions aim to break big problems into small, doable steps.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on attachment-focused ideas to understand relational wounds and on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused methods when they fit the situation. The mix depends on each person’s goals and circumstances.

Kristin works with people who have struggled with abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and related concerns. She also offers support for those navigating kink and alternative sex cultures in ways that respect autonomy and safety. Clients can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented tone and clear suggestions between sessions.

Kristin helps people practice new skills, track progress, and adjust plans when things don’t go as hoped. The focus is on realistic change that fits everyday life.

Online support

How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions use conversation to identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In teletherapy CBT, clients learn simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high. Those skills translate well to short coaching moments during phone or messaging sessions.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the first few meetings. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Methods can be combined and adjusted as progress is tracked over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and face-to-face cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
