About Kristen
Kristen (Elliott) Hepler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside common life stresses. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem struggles, grief, and changes at work or in life. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make first conversations easier for people who feel nervous about reaching out.
Kristen uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She combines that with an interest in brain health to shape practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Sessions tend to be interactive and collaborative, with clear tools to practice between meetings.
Her background includes more than 12 years working as a counselor in Texas. That experience includes supporting people through postpartum challenges, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues common to young adults and working people. She also works with feelings of emptiness, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
In the room she aims to be accepting and respectful, avoiding stigmatizing labels. Kristen listens for what matters to each person and then helps create manageable goals. She encourages gradual change and checks in about what’s working along the way.
When someone is ready to begin, she guides them through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. Kristen describes therapy as a team effort and looks forward to helping people take the next step toward better day-to-day functioning.
How CBT and brain-focused work fit in online therapy
Kristen uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace-related concerns and gives clear exercises to try between sessions.She also brings a brain health perspective to her work, applying knowledge about attention, mood, and regulation to shape practical strategies. That perspective helps translate therapy ideas into daily routines that support clearer thinking and steadier emotion.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans when something does not fit or stop being helpful.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on skills and planning. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and brain-focused tools to remote work so clients can practice between sessions without changing their daily routines.
