Kristin Money

Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people managing strong emotions and difficult life moments. She brings 12 years of counseling experience and listens with empathy while honoring each person's identity and pace for healing.

Kristin works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also supports those coping with attachment and abandonment wounds, family of origin issues, codependency, and communication or control problems. Her approach foregrounds the person's lived experience and the social forces that shape it.

Her style blends practical skills with trauma-aware methods. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on reducing distress, learning new coping strategies, and noticing patterns that keep problems going.

Kristin identifies as LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent, and she offers secular counseling that does not incorporate religious practice. She emphasizes validation, safety, and collaborating at a pace that feels manageable. She aims to help people uncover strengths and build a clearer sense of self after abuse or long-term stress.

She is licensed to practice only with people who live in Tennessee. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling before booking to ensure they meet the state practice requirements and logistical needs.

How Kristin’s methods translate to online work

Kristin commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication tools useful for anger and relationship stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will discuss goals, past treatment, and what feels most comfortable, then adapt methods to fit the client's needs. Her work aims to balance coping skills with deeper trauma processing at a pace the client controls.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for different ways of meeting when schedules are tight. Some formats may be better for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while others suit longer therapeutic work. Ask about current session options when you begin the matching process to find what works best for your routine and goals.
