More about Krista
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
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!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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.
Krista listens to me and checks in where appropriate. She offers a variety of approaches and is empathetic always.
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.
Krista is a really kind and considerate therapist. She really listens to people and wants to help.
Krista was very responsive. She understood my issues and gave me relatable feedback. Her suggestions were helpful and exactly what I needed.
Krista is a fantastic therapist! She has really helped me work through my anxiety and other issues. I also appreciate her flexibility with scheduling.
Absolutely love Krista. After spending many years with different therapist I finally found someone who understand me and is always there with the perfect words of wisdom. Highly recommend her and will continue to see her for as long as I can.
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.
Krista McKelvin is so amazing, she is the best therapist I have ever worked with and I cannot express how much I appreciate her.
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.
My experience with Krista was excellent. She offered practical advice and suggested new ways for me to look at things. I found our sessions to be very helpful!
You have been of great help and have really made a big difference in my marriage. I appreciate all the advice you gave me.
Krista was understanding and very helpful in dealing with my situation. Because of her, I know I am "normal", and not coping on my own. Thank you, Krista!

Krista is great, very helpful in identifying areas where I can take control and move on with my life. Strongly recommended.
