About Kristen
Kristen practices from a collaborative, client-centered stance that treats the individual as the expert of their own life. She combines empathic listening with practical tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients build skills, reduce distress, and pursue meaningful change. As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she has advanced training to provide professional talk therapy and mental health support.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and Kristen is committed to supporting that process with steady guidance, respect, and a clear focus on each person’s goals. She is currently accepting clients in Florida and works collaboratively to tailor treatment to individual needs.
Online therapy approaches and how they work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them access their own strengths and solutions. This approach can be especially helpful for people dealing with relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies with practical skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, and is often useful for intense emotional reactions and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit their situation. This partnership helps ensure therapy is both relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility by enabling sessions via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the constraints of in-person appointments.
