Kristien Hollingsworth, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Kristien!

I understand seeking a therapist can feel anxiety-provoking. In my sessions, we talk about real issues impairing your life and work together to bring resolution, hope, and true healing. The relationship with your therapist matters more than the method. If this resonates with you, we can set up a consultation to see if I'm the right fit.

My focus

I specialize in depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD, and sexual abuse or trauma. I work with survivors of sexual abuse, children and youth in foster care, and diverse populations. Members of the LGBTQIA2S+ Community, Pagan, Magickal, and alternative medicine communities are welcome.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, solution-focused, and mindfulness approaches. I'll empower you to draw from your strengths and teach new coping skills. I care about holistic health of mind, body, and soul. I know how lonely life can feel, and I want you to know real healing is possible.

My communication style

I start sessions by assessing current depression and anxiety levels, then ask where you'd like to focus. I do active listening and teach skills. I see myself as a lighthouse: I warn of dangerous obstacles and guide you safely to your destination, but you choose your course.

My journey to mental healthcare

I truly care about the holistic health of mind, body, and soul. I know how lonely, helpless, and hopeless life can make one feel at times. I want you to know it's possible to work through pain and suffering and facilitate real change and healing.

My goals for you

We work together to bring about resolution, hope, and true healing. I empower you to draw from the strengths you already possess while teaching you new coping skills. Wellness is a lifelong process, and lasting change comes from practicing the skills we develop together.

Our first session

The first session is information-gathering to ensure you're appropriate for our platform and that I'm the best fit for you. Please reach out to the office if you'd like a transfer. I'll provide videos on crucial skills. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD, or stress, daily practice will be necessary.
