Mrs. Kristen Cook, LPC
Specializes In:
Mrs. Kristen Cook helps children, teens, adults, and seniors across Texas navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and emotional balance. Practicing at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy in a supportive, engaging environment that encourages growth and healing. Kristen understands that every stage of life brings its own unique struggles, and she works collaboratively with each client to build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and foster lasting emotional well-being. Kristen’s approach integrates warmth, humor, and honesty to create a safe space where clients can express themselves freely and work toward meaningful change. Drawing from her background as an educator and counselor, she offers specialized care for anxiety, depression, and trauma, helping clients uncover the underlying causes of distress while developing tools to manage symptoms effectively. Her use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy supports healing from traumatic experiences and empowers clients to move forward with confidence and clarity. Kristen is especially passionate about working with individuals managing ADHD, PTSD, and mood-related challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder. She believes in helping clients rediscover their strengths and find stability, whether they are coping with childhood behavioral issues, academic stress, or major life transitions. Kristen also provides affirming care for individuals with developmental differences and members of the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring that every person feels valued and understood throughout the therapeutic process. Outside of her clinical work, Kristen enjoys reading and creating crafts; activities that inspire creativity, mindfulness, and a sense of calm that she often encourages her clients to cultivate in their own lives.
