About Kristin

Kristin Danner is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which clients explore patterns originating in family of origin and everyday life, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience. Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Kristin emphasizes empowering clients to author their life stories, work through abandonment or attachment issues, and address concerns ranging from body image and codependency to blended family dynamics and caregiving stress. She supports those coping with control issues, commitment struggles, and the impacts of trauma while helping clients find practical strategies for daily challenges.

Kristin invites clients to take the first step toward change with compassion and practical guidance, working together to identify goals and create sustainable steps toward greater wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches and online care work together



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves that hold emotions, beliefs, or reactions, making it useful for addressing trauma, difficult feelings, and internal conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns in current connections, helping clients improve communication, trust, and emotional regulation in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods feel most helpful given their goals, history, and preferences. Clients can expect a mix of insight-oriented exploration and skills-based strategies, adjusted over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or work and fit sessions into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what works best, and engage in therapy in ways that accommodate daily life and practical constraints.
