01About Kristi
Kristi McClatchy is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on issues related to trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. Her approach aims to create a warm, affirming space where clients can talk through what feels most urgent in their lives.
Kristi centers the client's perspective and treats the person as the expert on their own life. She listens, validates, and collaborates to set short-term and long-term goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical skills for coping with daily stress and anxiety. Her background includes work in non-profits, a day treatment program, and an inpatient psychiatric hospital over nine years. That variety informs how she tailors care to individual needs.
She draws on trauma-informed methods when childhood abuse or neglect is part of the history. Kristi uses attachment-focused ideas to help people understand patterns that come from early relationships. She offers education about attachment styles and helps clients build new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Creative methods such as art, movement, writing, meditation, and music are often woven into sessions when helpful. She also considers social context and identity in therapy. Feminist and queer-allied perspectives are used to examine how systems and power shape everyday life.
The goal is to help clients feel more empowered and to support lasting change. Kristi holds a Texas LPC, and she works with adults and young adults who want a respectful, collaborative space to heal and grow.

Approaches that guide online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people learn how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. It offers clear explanations about attachment styles and practical steps to change unhelpful habits in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as the expert on their life, creating space to set goals and build self-trust. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep consistent work on healing.
