She has nine years of clinical experience and holds the credential LMHC, plus LPC for work in Texas. Kristin pulls techniques from several evidence-based approaches to match a person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at building skills people can use between meetings. Kristin favors short-term tools and step-by-step plans when that fits a person's goals. She also works with deeper emotional issues like grief, relationship strain, and the fallout from past trauma.
When substance use or addiction is part of the picture, she blends motivational work and behavioral strategies to support change. The counseling style is warm and client-centered, with an emphasis on teaching coping skills. Kristin often uses mindfulness and cognitive strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve daily functioning.
She helps people set realistic goals and track progress. People who want flexible, skills-oriented therapy tend to do well with her approach. She offers a mix of therapy and coaching for life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and identity-related concerns.
Kristin aims to be a steady guide while clients build routines that feel sustainable.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Kristin often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, accept uncomfortable feelings, and take actions that match what matters most. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent avoidance patterns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems active and to teach practical skills for changing thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will discuss options and try strategies that fit a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
