01About Kristen
Kristen (Elliott) Hepler greets people with a calm, practical style. She helps individuals who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or major life changes. Her approach is warm and interactive, aimed at making early conversations feel less scary and more useful.
Kristen is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with twelve years of experience. She blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with attention to brain health when that fits the person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and on understanding what keeps problems going. She keeps sessions respectful and free from stigmatizing labels. The therapist listens first, then offers practical tools like thought-challenging, behavioral experiments, and coping strategies.
Parents reading on a phone will find short, straightforward language and concrete suggestions in sessions. Kristen also addresses grief, relationship concerns, workplace stress, and feelings of emptiness, guilt, or isolation. She supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, women’s issues, and young adult transitions.
Conversations include planning, small experiments, and tracking what helps over time. If someone prefers remote care, she offers video, phone, chat, or text messaging options. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment based on availability.

How CBT and brain-informed care work online
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practical terms this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and trying new behaviors to see what changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday challenges.She also integrates attention to brain health when appropriate, using that perspective to help people notice patterns in sleep, focus, and energy. That information can point to simple changes that support mood and concentration during life transitions or postpartum periods.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Progress is checked together and plans are adjusted based on what works and what doesn’t.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, or school.
