Therapy for Frisco families — two birds flying together at sunrise symbolizing parent and child connection through online therapy

Expert Virtual Therapy for Frisco Families

Frisco has been the fastest-growing city in America for years, and almost every family that lives here moved here for the schools, the safety, and the pace. But growth has its own psychological footprint — new-to-school transitions, friendships that haven't formed yet, parents working long hours, and kids feeling pressure to keep up in one of the most ambitious zip codes in the country.

Little Dove Psychology specializes in supporting Frisco kids and teens through these transitions and the anxiety that often comes with them — without the long delays most local therapists have. Dr. Kristin Kroll, PhD, a licensed psychologist and former academic medicine professor, provides virtual therapy from the comfort of your home.

Many Frisco families are relocating here for work or schools and arrive with kids who are quietly grieving old friendships, navigating new social hierarchies, or trying to keep up academically in a top-tier district. The kids who look the most adjusted are often the ones holding it together hardest.

Our Services for Frisco Families

Virtual Therapy for Children & Adolescents

We help Frisco kids, teens, and college students work through anxiety, depression, family conflict, and big emotions. Our evidence-based approach uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and DBT-informed skills, tailored to each young person and the family she belongs to. Whether your young person is 5 or 22, we meet her where she is.

Virtual Therapy for Parents & Caregivers

Parenting in the DFW metroplex is demanding. Between managing school schedules, activities, and the pressures of daily life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Our dedicated parent therapy helps you manage stress, prevent burnout, and build the skills you need to support your family’s mental health — all from the comfort of your Frisco home.

Hospital-Trained Background

Dr. Kroll trained as a pediatric psychologist at Children's Wisconsin and held an academic appointment at the Medical College of Wisconsin. That hospital training shapes how she works today with anxious, depressed, and dysregulated kids and teens. Learn more →

Frequently Asked Questions — Frisco Virtual Therapy

Is virtual therapy effective for children?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that virtual cognitive behavioral therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation work with kids and teens. Many young people actually engage better in virtual sessions because they are in a familiar, comfortable environment.

Do you accept insurance?

We are a fee-for-service and membership-based practice. We do not bill insurance directly, but we can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many Frisco families find this approach gives them faster access to care without the limitations of insurance panels.

How do I know if my child needs therapy?

If your child’s worry, behavior, or emotions are interfering with school, friendships, sleep, or family life — and it’s been going on for more than a couple of weeks — it’s worth having a conversation with a professional. Our free 15-minute consultation is designed exactly for this: to help you figure out whether therapy is the right next step.

Can you prescribe medication?

No. As a virtual psychology practice, our clinicians provide therapy, not medication management. If medication is something your family is considering, we can coordinate with your child’s pediatrician or a psychiatrist in the area to ensure a comprehensive approach.

What ages do you work with?

We work with children, adolescents, and parents. Most of our clients are families with children ages 5–17, but we also provide dedicated therapy for parents and caregivers at any stage.

Do you work with kids attending Frisco ISD?

Yes. We see clients attending Frisco ISD high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district. We understand how fast Frisco schools have grown and the unique pressures kids face navigating both expansion and the high-achievement culture. With your written consent, we can coordinate with school counselors on 504 plans, accommodations, or school-related stress.
