Virtual Psychologist Serving Houston Families: Anxiety, Depression, Family Communication & Emotion Regulation
Houston families deserve access to top-quality mental health care without the hassle of long drives, crowded waiting rooms, or months-long delays. Little Dove Psychology provides expert virtual psychotherapy from the comfort of your Houston home.
Founded by Dr. Kristin Kroll, PhD, a licensed psychologist and former academic medicine professor, our practice brings specialized expertise in child, adolescent, and health psychology directly to the Greater Houston Area families through secure video sessions.
Whether your kid is wrestling with anxiety, depression, family conflict, or big emotions, we bring the same caliber of care you would expect from a top children's hospital, delivered virtually for kids, teens, and college students.
We help Houston kids, teens, and college students work through anxiety, depression, family conflict, and big emotions. Our evidence-based approach is tailored to each young person and the family she belongs to.
Parenting is demanding, and Houston's fast pace can make it even harder. Our dedicated parent therapy helps you manage stress, prevent burnout, and build the skills you need to support your family's mental health.
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 →
We serve families throughout the Houston metropolitan area, including The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, League City, Cypress, Spring, Humble, Pasadena, Missouri City, Conroe, and all surrounding communities. Houston is the largest city in Texas, and finding a specialized child psychologist can mean long wait times. Virtual therapy eliminates that barrier.
Parents across the Houston area look for a "child psychologist near me," "online therapy in Houston," or a "teen anxiety therapist in Katy or Sugar Land." Little Dove works with all of them, virtually, so where you live in the metro never limits which specialist your child can see.
Because care is delivered by secure video, a family in The Woodlands gets the same specialized psychologist as a family in Pearland or League City. No cross-town commute, no local waitlist.
Book a free 15-minute consultation and we'll confirm the fit for your child's age and concern before you commit to anything.
Tell us what you're seeing at home or school. We'll help you figure out whether therapy, an ADHD evaluation, or a few parent-coaching sessions is the right first step.
No. Little Dove is a fully virtual practice, so we meet Houston families by secure video rather than from a local office. That's exactly what lets a specialist child and teen psychologist work with your family whether you're in Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, or central Houston, without anyone sitting in traffic across the metro.
For most concerns, yes. Research consistently finds virtual therapy works as well as in-person for anxiety, depression, and family issues in kids and teens, and many young people open up more from their own room. We'll tell you honestly if your child's situation is one of the few that needs in-person care.
All of them, because we're virtual. We regularly work with families in Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, League City, Cypress, Spring, Humble, Pasadena, Missouri City, and Conroe, plus anywhere else in Texas and PSYPACT states for college students who head out of state.
We specialize in kids, teens, and college students: anxiety, depression, family conflict and communication, and emotion regulation, plus ADHD evaluation and treatment. Our clinicians are Dr. Kristin Kroll, Dr. Meghan Kraenbring Comerford, and Antonette Anuwe.
Yes. Our psychologists are licensed in Texas, and through PSYPACT we can also see clients in other participating states, useful when a Houston teen leaves for college.
Little Dove is in network with Aetna, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), and Optum, with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas projected for late September or early October. For self-pay families, we provide a superbill you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and many families with PPO plans recover a meaningful portion.

Our clinicians are trained to keep young kids engaged on screen (using games, drawing, movement, and screen-sharing), and a parent stays close by, which makes the parent-coaching part of treatment seamless. Most families are surprised how naturally it works.
