Krista McKelvin

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in both Oklahoma and Texas with over 15 years of experience working as a vocational counselor and psychotherapist. My experience includes providing counseling services to teens and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I describe my counseling style is as open and easy going; no pressure. I believe in the importance of building rapport. Therefore, my goal is to treat each individual with the upmost respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and client centered therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I believe the first step to counseling is self awareness. So, if you are seeking services, then you are half way there!

I look forward to working with you!

For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy is often comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. One key advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable – through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
