About Me

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!

She’s very helpful. I approached this willing to deal with my issues head on with gentle guidance to benefit from this and She’s really helped me. She does a good job in seeing from my perspective of a world that seems different.

I have been working with Krista for a few months now and she has been a great fit for me. She helps me explore every aspect of any concern that I come to her with and she helps me open my mind enough to actually see what the root of the issue is. She has been a great help in my journey of bettering myself and I am happy to have her as my counselor.

Absolutely one of the best decisions made was to sign up with BetterHelp so that could find Krista McKelvin. I have had a few therapists/counselors in the past but I don’t think any of them really understood me like Krista does. I look forward to my sessions every week and I have seen a big change in my life. I trust her with everything and believe she is 100% real with me.

Written by J.E. on Feb 05, 2021 after therapy with Krista for 4 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

What can I say? Krista McKelvin has taught me how to knock on doors that I hadn't even known about before. She shows me the doors by listening, responding, exploring, questioning and answering. I laugh, I cry, I nod my head with acknowledgement. Wherever we find ourselves, she is up for it, and our sessions have me jotting down notes that help put this puzzle together. I cannot thank her enough.

I enjoy the fact that she’s a great listener! Her feedback helps me move to a safer place because I know she is just a click away. I would recommend her to everyone.

Working with Krista has felt like a shared journey so far. I appreciate her candor in saying that she feels that she's learning with me as we navigate and explore the issues, histories, and strategies to work through the challenges that brought me to therapy. I look forward to each session for her experience, expertise, and spirit of exploration and resolution.
