Her background includes work in inpatient hospitals and outpatient settings offering both individual and group therapy across the lifespan.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a sociology minor from the University of Houston and completed a Master of Arts in Counseling at Prairie View A&M. Kiran is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC (TX LPC 68646) and has nearly 10 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse services.

She draws on multiple evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered listening, and trauma-focused techniques, to tailor care around each client's goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; it offers concrete exercises and skill-building useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting the client’s own goals, creating space for clients to explore what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy blends acceptance and change strategies and includes practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to evaluate needs, preferences, and goals, and may combine techniques to form a tailored plan that feels appropriate and achievable. This collaborative stance helps ensure the approach fits the individual rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make these therapies more accessible and adaptable to everyday life. These options allow scheduling flexibility, continuity of care across locations, and multiple ways to engage with therapeutic tools and support between sessions.
