About Krista
Krista Asp is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on personal growth and relationships. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Her approach centers on helping people uncover what matters to them and make small, steady changes.
Sessions aim to be practical and respectful, with the therapist listening first and offering tools that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Krista uses cognitive and behavioral ideas alongside emotion-focused work to address day-to-day problems. She draws on attachment-based perspectives to help people improve how they connect with others. That work can be helpful for intimacy problems, communication struggles, and commitment issues.
She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, as one option when trauma and painful memories are part of the concern. Krista has additional training in mindfulness-based stress reduction and blends that with client-centered and solution-focused strategies. This means sessions often include grounding skills, coping plans, and concrete steps to try between visits.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Krista practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She supports people dealing with life transitions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and many related concerns while keeping the pace tailored to each person's needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns shape current closeness. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice and change how they relate to partners and loved ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Sessions often include short homework tasks and behavior experiments to try between meetings. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories; when appropriate it is offered as one therapeutic option and is adapted for remote formats.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. If one way of working isn’t helping, adjustments are made together so sessions stay useful and focused on what you want to change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coping reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue support through life transitions.
