About Kristi
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience. Kristi McClatchy focuses on anxiety, stress, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related concerns. She helps young adults and people working through family of origin or attachment issues. Sessions emphasize collaboration and concrete goals.
Kristi listens for patterns that link current struggles to earlier life experiences. She uses attachment-based ideas to explain relationship patterns and to work toward more secure ways of relating. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when childhood abuse or neglect is part of the history.
Her approach includes client-centered therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce stress and anchor attention in the present moment. She mentions Internal Family Systems and other trauma-informed work when addressing internal parts and memories.
Kristi integrates expressive methods such as art, movement, writing, meditation, and music when those methods fit a client’s needs. She discusses social context and identity using feminist and queer-allied perspectives to understand how power and culture shape experience. This can be useful for people processing religious trauma or discrimination.
She notes clear practice limits around substance use, active self-harm, severe mental illness, and other concerns she is not currently addressing. If a different level of care is needed, she says she will help connect clients to a better fit.

How her approaches translate to remote work
Kristi uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present behavior; this helps when trust or closeness feel difficult. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person’s immediate concerns and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead to set goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing emotions and relationships, such as distress tolerance and communication techniques. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals and preferences. That process can include short-term skill building, trauma-focused work if appropriate, or exploring attachment patterns over time. Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let clients use practices like guided mindfulness, writing prompts, or movement exercises during a session in ways that match their daily life.Sheet 3
