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!

Therapy with Krista exceeds my expectations. Her expertise helps me understand things within myself that I didn’t know before. She’s very tentative, versatile, and ultimately kind. I’ve already recommended her to a couple of people. Thanks Krista, looking forward to continuing my therapy with you.

I came to BetterHelp feeling like I was at the end of my rope. I’m glad I had people around me to guide me here because although I wasn’t scared and I knew I needed the help, I just didn’t know where to start. I am thankful for the expertise of my therapist Dr. K.
After our first session, I instantly called my bestie and was like, oh no, I love her!!! She’s the type of therapist you want. She’s understanding, she calls you out, and she also gives you tools and ways to put your mind at ease.
The level of understanding that she has shown in the two weeks I’ve been seeing her has opened me up in a way I didn’t or never imagined. She doesn’t pry, but she has a way of asking you something that makes it hard to not spill your guts.
BetterHelp has allowed me to clear the fog from my head. And if you’re here, and you feel that same fog, you’ve come to the right place. Get your mind right today!

I cannot speak highly enough about Krista. She is incredible. From her expertise, the way she helps me move through my thoughts, I just love her. I have never found a therapist I connected with like I connect with her. Her tools are amazing and I just can’t say enough good things about her! If you are looking into therapy but are scared, this is your person. She will not let you down.

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.
