About Kristin
Kristin Danner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, stress and anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and bipolar and other mood disorders. Kristin names attachment and family of origin issues among the problems she helps people talk through.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people who carry guilt or shame related to relationships, identity, or past events. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations look at patterns that keep someone stuck and build skills to respond differently in stressful moments.
Kristin draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in everyday life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional intensity makes it hard to cope.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods appear in sessions when someone wants to set short-term goals and notice small changes. The overall approach balances longer-term understanding with concrete tools people can practice between meetings.
Kristin aims to help people name difficult feelings, including shame and guilt, and decide on manageable next steps. She encourages straightforward plans for coping with stress and rebuilding trust in relationships. The emphasis is on practical work that fits into a busy life.

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to test new ways of thinking. DBT supplies brief skills for managing intense emotions and reducing urges that lead to regretted actions.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with clients to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She typically balances understanding life patterns with practical skills people can use between sessions.
