Grief counselors and therapists in Corpus Christi, TX

I graduated with a BS in Education from Texas A&M in 1970 and Graduated from University of Houston/Clear Lake in 1990 with a Master's Degree in Counseling. I taught in the first Federally Funded Kindergarten program for economically deprived children in Texas. I taught kindergarten until 1989 when I became an elementary school counselor until retiring from the school system. I worked in an agency for one year before establishing my private practice. I now only work remotely. I trained in Heart Math, a medical tool to help calm the brain. I like to work with clients to minimize their negative thinking and shift to positive consciousness, using the writings of Dr. David Hawkins.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or major transitions start to pile up. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing. For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside individuals navigating some of life’s hardest moments, including trauma, substance use recovery, mental health struggles, family stress, and major life changes. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe everyone deserves support, hope, and the opportunity to heal. No matter where you're starting from, we'll work together to help you build on your strengths and create meaningful change one step at a time.

Life doesn't come with an instruction manual. When emotions feel intense, relationships become difficult, or stress starts affecting everyday life, having the right tools can make a real difference.

For more than 8 years, I’ve helped clients develop practical skills to better manage emotions, cope with difficult situations, improve relationships, and move forward with greater confidence.

My practice specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—a practical, skills-based approach that focuses on learning how to navigate life's challenges while building a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Counseling can help you:

• Understand and manage difficult emotions • Develop healthier ways to cope with stress • Strengthen relationships and communication • Set and maintain healthy boundaries • Increase self-awareness and mindfulness • Navigate transitions and challenges • Build confidence in handling difficult moments

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of experience in education and mental health support. I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

My professional background includes extensive experience as a school counselor, which has strengthened my ability to support individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. Over time, my clinical work has expanded to include adolescents (15+), adults, and older adults.

I enjoy working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I also have a strong passion for working with older adults as they reflect on life experiences, cope with changes in health or independence, and find meaning and purpose in later stages of life.

In addition, I work with couples and married partners who are seeking to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their connection. I support couples in navigating conflict in healthier ways and developing a deeper understanding of one another.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives

There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.

I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...

Hello, I'm Kristen Boisrond, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping individuals navigate difficult life crossroads. I'm very passionate about making others feel validated, heard, and understood.

Have you ever felt like you're the one everyone depends on, yet no one really sees how much you're carrying? Maybe you've been holding everything together while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or questions about who you are and where you're headed. You don't have to keep carrying that weight by yourself. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Texas, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and identity concerns while also supporting family conflict, stress management, grief and loss, trauma, and women's issues that often become part of the same story. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood without judgment, and empowered to move toward the life you want to build.

I’ve spent my career supporting people through some of their hardest moments—crisis units, inpatient care, disability rehabilitation, and corporate healthcare. Being a foster parent gave me a firsthand view of how families cope under intense strain. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I specialize in the mental‐health impact of chronic illness, disability, and identity shifts. I believe people are more resilient than they realize, and the right support helps them access it.
