Getting to know Kristin Mena

Hi there, I'm Kristin! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Houston, Texas, providing telehealth services to clients across the state. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Houston and am currently pursuing a PhD at the same institution. I specialize in supporting expectant and new mothers, adolescents, and adults, focusing on challenges such as anxiety, depression, crises, coping with life transitions, and helping high achievers unlock their full potential. Drawing on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I empower my clients to make meaningful progress and achieve a greater sense of well-being. My approach to therapy is personalized to meet the unique needs of each client. I often combine techniques such as CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients in making meaningful progress and reaching their therapeutic goals. My therapeutic style is well-suited for teenagers, new parents, and adults of all ages navigating life transitions and the pressures of daily life. These challenges often present as anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, or overwhelm. I am dedicated to helping clients work through these periods, build practical coping skills, and foster greater self-confidence and life satisfaction. My communication style is genuine, authentic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a comfortable, trusting environment where clients feel at ease, allowing us to build a strong therapeutic relationship and engage in meaningful work together. I have always been drawn to helping others in meaningful ways, which naturally led me to a career in therapy.
