About Kristin
Kristin trained with a Master of Social Work and has practiced for many years in both community settings and private practice. She draws on practical skills from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and everyday coping. She also uses Emotionally-Focused and mindfulness-informed practices to support emotional connection and calm.
Sessions begin where the person is and focus on clear, practical steps. Kristin uses solution-focused techniques and strength-based work to build on what already helps. Somatic methods are offered to help people notice and work with sensations in the body when that feels useful.
Kristin may include breath exercises, guided mindfulness, inner child exploration, or gentle movement like yoga when clients want those options. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She aims to create a respectful space where people can try new tools and notice real shifts.
Her approach is meant for people dealing with relationship breaks, identity shifts, parenting pressures, or career stress. Kristin supports clients as they sort priorities, manage emotions, and plan next steps toward clearer routines and steadier days.

How her approaches translate to online work
Kristin uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, offering a listening approach that prioritizes the client’s own goals and pacing. This helps people feel heard and guides the next practical steps for change.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and daily routines that need adjusting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer travel demands. If you want to include breath work, mindfulness exercises, or short movement practices, those can be guided in a session and fit into a lunch break or morning routine. Because the biography did not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to make sure they meet your needs and schedule.
