About Kristin
Kristin Scott-Groves is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered support. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship issues, grief, and ADHD-related concerns using clear, doable steps. Kristin works with people facing trauma, mood shifts, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions.
She favors a straightforward, kind style in sessions. Kristin listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she and the client pick approaches that fit the problem and the person’s daily life.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Virginia, with practice supporting people who served in the military, those facing postpartum or mood disorders, and adults coping with caregiver burden or blended family stress. She draws on several evidence-informed methods to match needs to strategies. In sessions she teaches simple skills for calm, pacing, and better sleep.
Kristin also helps people reframe anxious thoughts and set manageable goals. The focus is on tools that can be used between appointments to make change happen. People who prefer different formats can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them. Kristin aims to make the work feel doable and relevant to everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kristin draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name what they want to change; it is useful for improving communication, self-esteem, and handling life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused elements when helpful to set clear, achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make a change and build motivation. Solution-Focused techniques break bigger problems into small steps so progress is noticeable and measurable. Together these approaches are chosen collaboratively based on your needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and fit into busy schedules. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life while keeping the focus on clear strategies and steady progress.
