About Krista
Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related challenges. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people can feel more balanced in daily life. Her style is calm and direct, aiming to make therapy feel useful from the start.
Krista draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and interactions. Her training included a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by CACREP. Since then she has continued professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
Those additions inform trauma-focused work and skills for managing strong emotions. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while remaining person-focused. Krista works with individuals and couples on life transitions, grief, intimacy and past trauma.
She helps people rebuild connection, cope with change, and find clearer ways to communicate. People who choose Krista can expect steady guidance and collaborative planning. She aims to help clients recognize patterns, try new strategies, and track progress over time.
The work balances short-term problem solving with deeper relationship and attachment work.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Krista uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her, listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to be heard and to build confidence in decision making.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try concrete behavior changes. Those tools are useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with day-to-day functioning. Additionally, attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns or past connections affect current mood and interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Krista will talk with each client about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. The plan can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge, and decisions are made collaboratively during sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and full conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and steady progress with a licensed professional.
