Kristi McClatchy

Kristi McClatchy, LPC offers a calm, respectful space for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, or compassion fatigue. She provides support for those navigating life changes, relationship struggles linked to attachment, and challenges tied to identity or past abuse. Her approach centers on listening and collaborating to set short-term and long-term goals.

Kristi uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities while offering empathy and reflection. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to explain how early relationships shape current patterns. When trauma from childhood is present, she applies trauma-focused tools and Internal Family Systems concepts to help process those memories and parts of the self.

Sessions may include practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety and improve emotion regulation. Creative activities such as writing, movement, art, music, and meditation are offered when they match a person’s needs and preferences. Kristi integrates perspectives from feminist and queer-allied approaches to consider how social systems affect personal well-being.

Her background includes work in nonprofit settings, day treatment programs, and inpatient psychiatric hospitals over nine years. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, in Texas.

Kristi emphasizes collaboration: she listens, validates, and helps people build steps toward greater self-understanding, self-love, and more satisfying connections.
