Krista Asp , LPC

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on personal and relationship growth, helping clients rediscover balance and well-being in their lives. She completed a postgraduate degree at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by CACREP, where her training spanned cognitive and behavioral techniques as well as trauma-focused approaches. Her clinical orientation blends solution-focused work with an underlying stance of unconditional positive regard, creating a supportive environment in which clients can explore change and healing.

Her professional development includes mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), skills she integrates when appropriate to address trauma and stress-related concerns. Krista is experienced working with individuals and couples through a range of life transitions and mental health challenges, and she emphasizes collaborative work aimed at uncovering strengths and restoring connection with one’s core sense of self.

Krista brings six years of clinical experience to her practice in Tennessee and offers an approach that values practical strategies, emotional insight, and a compassionate therapeutic relationship to support sustained personal and relational growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Krista integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current emotional needs and interpersonal dynamics - this work can help people seeking deeper connection and improved relationship functioning. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can guide the pace and focus of their healing process. When appropriate, she applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, or mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Krista works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they prioritize interventions that feel useful and manageable for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in therapy from different settings and at varied times. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy schedules, or when in-person sessions are not practical, while working with licensed professionals who tailor the process to each client's needs.
