About Kristin
Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style aims to make overwhelming problems feel more manageable.
Kristin draws on straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to address worry, panic, and mood problems. She works with people coping with trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, caregiver strain, and relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Many clients come with family-related stress such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, divorce or separation, and communication problems. Kristin also offers help for eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions like midlife crises or fertility challenges. Her sessions use methods like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques.
These approaches are used to reduce symptoms, practice new skills, and set small, achievable goals. Kristin has six years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in Colorado and Florida as well as Virginia practice licensure. She provides therapy in English and does not take international clients.
Sessions include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, with subscriptions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability by selecting the Start Therapy button.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused work to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and process difficult experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety, then practicing new skills to reduce symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy helps people name traumatic memories, learn grounding and safety strategies, and work toward less reactivity.She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions practical and collaborative. Client-centered work prioritizes the person's priorities and pace, while solution-focused work zeroes in on small, achievable changes. Kristin will talk with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best based on their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions let people practice skills face-to-face, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access care with flexibility and continuity while working toward their goals.
