Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Kristin draws on techniques that encourage clearer thinking and committed action toward personal values.
She also offers listening and reflective feedback to help people feel heard and understood. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, body image, addiction, and issues around fertility and aging. Kristin can help people work through family of origin struggles, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Kristin practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She supports people who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers guidance tailored to each person’s situation and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Kristin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, stress, and confusion about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce worry, improve mood, and solve practical problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when scheduling makes real-time sessions harder. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward concrete changes.
