About Kristen
She has long experience in school settings and in individual psychotherapy. That background means she often helps people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and mood disorders. She also supports those working through trauma, substance misuse, relationship strain, and anger concerns.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice this means she listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals and try concrete strategies. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on real-life changes.
Kristen has provided clinical supervision to candidates seeking licensure in Florida. Her years as a school social worker shaped a practical, problem-solving orientation that many people find direct and approachable. She adapts pacing and techniques to fit individual needs.
She encourages people who are ready to make changes to take the next step. Visitors who want to begin are invited to use the site process to start matching and schedule a session according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify what matters most to them; this can help with anger, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and impulsivity.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It can help with stress, anger management, and coping with strong emotions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Over a few sessions she will suggest approaches or combine techniques to match the person's needs.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, homework, and mindfulness practices between visits.
