Background and approach
With seven years of professional experience, Kristen has worked with people coping with loss, major transitions, and caregiver strain. She also supports those affected by adoption and foster care, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving. Kristen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in ways that are straightforward and useful.
She emphasizes clear communication, small steps toward change, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. She is licensed in Texas and Louisiana as an LCSW, and conducts sessions in English. Kristen aims to make beginning therapy simple: she recognizes the courage it takes to reach out and helps people move forward at a pace that feels manageable.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people build coping skills and reduce anxiety. One common approach focuses on practical coping strategies and behavior changes to manage stress and daily triggers; this helps when anxiety gets in the way of routine tasks. Another approach centers on processing grief and life changes through guided conversation and small coping steps to restore functioning and connection.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kristen discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. She works together with clients to find what feels most helpful and to try techniques gradually until a good fit is found.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
