Kristy Hamilton

Kristy Hamilton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people handle anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She works in a direct, respectful way and focuses on what is happening now. Kristy listens first to understand each person’s situation before planning how to move forward.

She draws on ten years of clinical experience in medical and hospice settings, dual-diagnosis treatment, and outpatient behavioral health. That background means she often helps people facing addiction, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and grief related to health concerns. Kristy also supports people working through relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career stress.

Her counseling style is collaborative and practical. She uses client-centered methods and helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Kristy blends cognitive-behavioral tools with attachment-based ideas and motivational interviewing to match what a person needs in the moment.

Kristy holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and is authorized to practice in California. She offers sessions by phone, live chat, or video and keeps a flexible schedule that often includes weekdays. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Her own experience as a parent and years working in clinical roles inform her approach. Kristy aims to help people find short-term strategies and longer-term changes so they can cope better with mood, anger, trauma, or major life changes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kristy blends cognitive-behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and to understand how past relationships shape present reactions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and emotional needs, helping people notice how attachment styles affect intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristy listens to a person’s goals and preferences and then adjusts methods to fit their needs. She will check in together about what is helping and what should change as therapy progresses.

Her biography states she offers phone, live chat, and video sessions; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Kristy aims to use whatever format the person and she agree on to work on anger, stress, relationships, and life transitions in a way that fits everyday routines.
