About Kristin

Kristin Danner is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 11 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that helps clients build emotional strength, resilience, and clearer coping strategies so they can move past patterns that limit their daily lives. Her work blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with attention to attachment patterns and relational history.

Kristin draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and uses elements of attachment-based and dialectical approaches to support emotional regulation and healthier connections. She emphasizes hope and agency, partnering with clients to set achievable goals and to create new ways of responding to old problems.

Kristin encourages people to see themselves as active participants in change, guiding them to develop skills and perspectives that reduce overwhelm and increase wellbeing. She welcomes clients ready to take the first step toward healing and offers multiple online formats to fit varied schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for growth

Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop concrete behavioral strategies for reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based methods are also part of her work, focusing on patterns of relating and early relational experiences that influence current relationships and emotional responses. She may incorporate dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin works with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve so that therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or while traveling and to integrate sessions into busy lives. These formats can make regular engagement easier and support consistent progress toward therapy goals while accommodating different communication preferences and schedules.
