Licensed Psychologist Serving Southlake & the DFW Metroplex
Free 15-Minute Consultations • Fee-For-Service and Memberships
(512) 240-2633Southlake families have access to some of the best resources in the country — Carroll ISD is one of the most academically successful districts in the nation, the community is tight-knit, and the standards for kids are exceptionally high. That excellence has a side effect that doesn't always get talked about: an entire generation of Southlake kids growing up under intense pressure to achieve, perform, and present.
Little Dove Psychology supports Southlake kids and teens whose anxiety, perfectionism, or burnout has started showing under the polished surface — with virtual therapy that fits into the schedules of busy Southlake families. Dr. Kristin Kroll, PhD, a licensed psychologist and former academic medicine professor, provides care directly to your home.
Southlake parents are often high-achieving themselves, and the same drive that built successful careers can sometimes make it hard to know when to slow down for a child whose nervous system is asking for a different pace. Therapy here has to balance the very real pressures of Carroll ISD with the developmental needs of kids who are still kids.
We help Southlake kids and teens work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and adjustment to medical conditions. Our evidence-based approach uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — the gold standard for childhood anxiety — tailored to each child’s developmental stage and unique needs. Whether your child is 5 or 17, we meet them where they are.
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 Southlake home.
A rare specialty. Dr. Kroll trained as a pediatric psychologist at Children's Wisconsin and served as Assistant Professor of Pediatric Cardiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She works with families navigating chronic illness, new diagnoses, medical trauma, procedural anxiety (needles, scans, bloodwork), treatment adherence, and the emotional impact of being the "sick kid." Most therapists haven't worked inside a hospital. She has — and that training changes everything. Learn more about health psychology services →

Because our therapy is 100% virtual, we also work with families across the entire DFW metroplex and all of Texas. Dallas • Austin • Houston • San Antonio • All of Texas.
The DFW metroplex is one of the largest metro areas in the country — and finding a child psychologist who specializes in what your family needs can mean driving 30, 45, even 60 minutes each way. Virtual therapy eliminates that entirely.
If you’re new to online therapy, here’s how it works:
Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that virtual cognitive behavioral therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for childhood anxiety, ADHD management, and behavioral concerns. Many children actually engage better in virtual sessions because they’re in a familiar, comfortable environment.
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 Dallas families find this approach gives them faster access to care without the limitations of insurance panels.
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.
No. As a psychologist, Dr. Kroll provides therapy, not medication management. If medication is something your family is considering, she can coordinate with your child’s pediatrician or a psychiatrist in the Dallas area to ensure a comprehensive approach.
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.
Yes. Many of our Southlake clients attend Carroll ISD schools. We understand the unique academic culture of the district — the high expectations, the AP track, the athletic and arts programs, and the social pressure that comes with being a Dragon. Therapy is tuned to support kids inside that environment, not push back against it. With your written consent, we can coordinate with Carroll school counselors when accommodations are useful.
