Kriss Light , LMFT

Kriss Light is a Jungian certificated psychotherapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She brings a depth psychology perspective that names inner dynamics such as the Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus, and the process of individuation, and invites clients of all ages and backgrounds to explore how unseen forces shape their lives. By helping make unconscious material more conscious, she and the client become curious collaborators who examine patterns, projections, and the emotions that underlie behavior, leading toward greater self-awareness and acceptance.

Life changes such as loss, transitions, trauma, health challenges, or chronic stress often bring people into therapy, and Kriss supports clients as they sort through feelings, values, and what matters most. That reflective work helps bring clarity and a renewed sense of direction when decisions feel uncertain. Her interests in comparative religion and Jungian studies inform a rich, symbolic approach, and her background as a musician supports creative expression in the therapeutic process.

Kriss offers a free phone consultation and aims to respond within 24 hours. If she is not a good fit, she will offer up to three referrals to help connect the seeker with another appropriate resource.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kriss integrates several evidence-informed approaches in her work that translate well to online formats. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early attachment patterns and relational histories shape current relationships and emotional responses, and is useful for couples, family concerns, intimacy issues, and abandonment-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting clients where they are, supporting personal growth, self-acceptance, and clearer decision making through a nonjudgmental therapeutic stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kriss works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and together they determine which methods feel most helpful and how to adapt them over time.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life, maintain continuity through transitions, and access therapists from a familiar environment. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver tailored support with flexibility and responsiveness to the client’s needs.
