About Kristel
Kristel Zoller is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and big life changes. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories and learn skills to feel steadier day to day.

She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices skills that change how they respond to stress and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes rather than abstract theory. Her approach includes step-by-step work for processing traumatic memories and for reducing avoidance. She pairs skill teaching with opportunities to practice new ways of coping during sessions.
Clients can expect clear explanations of options and small, manageable goals between visits. Kristel draws on a range of therapeutic tools to match each person’s needs and goals. She discusses possible approaches and builds a plan together, adjusting as progress is made.
Her style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on safety and pacing. Based in Texas, Kristel brings extensive experience to each case and focuses on steady progress instead of quick fixes. She helps clients move from surviving to making thoughtful choices that fit their lives.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Kristel uses several structured, evidence-based techniques to guide trauma recovery. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. Prolonged exposure style work involves gradual, supported facing of feared memories or situations to reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kristel works collaboratively with people to review options, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The choice of techniques depends on the client’s needs, pace, and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options Kristel currently provides before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people work with a licensed professional in Texas without rearranging their day, while still focusing on the same practical skills and step-by-step trauma work used in-person.
