About Kristi

Kristi McClatchy, LPC, supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and challenges to self-esteem. She offers a warm, affirming space to talk through daily pressures and difficult life changes. Kristi helps clients who identify as LGBT and those facing compassion fatigue find steady, practical ways to cope.

She centers attachment-based ideas in her work and helps people untangle how early relationships affect current patterns. Sessions include education about attachment styles and steps to heal the inner child when early wounds make trust and closeness hard.

Background and approach

She also uses trauma-focused approaches when childhood abuse or neglect is part of the story. Kristi blends client-centered listening with skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and stress management.

She uses Internal Family Systems ideas to gently separate parts of a person that hold pain, and she often brings creative methods like art, movement, writing, meditation, and music into sessions. Her practice also considers social context. Kristi discusses how identity, power, and social systems shape wellbeing and uses queer-allied and feminist perspectives in that work.

She has clinical experience across nonprofit settings, day treatment programs, and inpatient psychiatric hospitals. Kristi holds a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor credential and has nine years of clinical experience. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support

How attachment work and skills translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding early relationship patterns and how they affect current bonds; this helps when fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others causes pain. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and validation, giving people space to tell their story while the therapist follows their lead and reflects what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness useful for managing anxiety and strong emotions.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time, drawing more on attachment work, skills training, or trauma-focused tools as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients connect face to face for deep conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules and life changes.
