About Kristin

Kristin Danner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and LGBTQ related issues. Kristin also lists codependency and related relationship patterns among her focus areas.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Kristin helps people name what is wearing them down and find small, doable changes. She uses clear, skill-based approaches to manage distress and improve communication. Sessions center on what the person wants to change next, not on blame.

Kristin draws on Attachment-Based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques come in when a client wants workable steps and goals.

In a typical session she helps people notice patterns like people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or difficulty saying no. She offers concrete tools for boundary-setting, coping with overwhelming feelings, and improving communication. Kristin talks through options and practices skills together in session.

Her background in social work informs a focus on life problems and daily stresses as much as on past hurt. People who want direct, practical support for relationship patterns and mood concerns may find her approach fits well.

How sessions work

How Kristin applies therapy approaches online

Kristin commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and feelings. This approach helps people notice repeated responses in relationships, such as clinging or withdrawal, and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or unpredictable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She will talk through options, try tools in session, and adjust the mix of techniques based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking. Once you know the available options, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They can reduce commute time, allow a quicker check-in during a break, and let people practice skills from their usual routines. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so the practical details fit your day.
