Kynan Kinley

Kynan Kinley is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas who blends professional training with a warm, practical approach. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from The University of North Texas and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University, and he carries a Texas counseling license (TX LPC 77062).

With five years of clinical experience, Kynan has worked with people from many backgrounds and is experienced addressing anxiety, depression, stress, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, psychosis, substance abuse, familial conflict, grief, and a wide range of other concerns. His specialties also include addictions, self esteem, LGBT issues, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related and parenting issues, anger management, career difficulties, and bipolar disorder.

He uses an approach informed by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), encouraging clients to examine unhelpful thought patterns, practice problem-solving, and apply real-life interventions that support measurable change. Kynan is transparent about the work of therapy—he acknowledges it can be difficult and that people often feel worse before they begin to feel better. Those intensified emotions are described as temporary, and processing them can make them more manageable over time.

Kynan aims to offer flexible access to care. Video sessions are typically available Monday through Friday in 30-minute slots, although times may shift from week to week; he is unavailable on Saturdays and Sundays. Phone and chat sessions offer greater scheduling flexibility, and he strives to accommodate client requests. He prefers to schedule standing weekly appointments to provide consistency, and he asks clients to allow 4 to 24 hours for message responses on most days, with response times varying on weekends.

He invites individuals who are ready to face change to take a step toward better well-being and looks forward to working with new clients.
