Kristen Dewberry , LCSW

Kristen Dewberry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience providing therapy to both individuals and groups. As an LCSW she has advanced social work training and is licensed to offer clinical therapeutic services. Prior to clinical social work, she worked as a certified and licensed recreational therapist, which informs a creative, expressive approach to treatment and allows her to incorporate arts and activity-based techniques when helpful.

Her therapeutic style is warm and genuine, often lightened with humor to make difficult conversations more approachable. She specializes in supporting women through the transitions of motherhood and in helping people better understand and manage symptoms of ADHD. Kristen also works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and navigating life changes, bringing practical tools and compassionate coaching to each session.

Kristen aims to partner with clients in a collaborative way, matching therapeutic methods to individual goals and preferences. She emphasizes an accessible, person-centered atmosphere where clients can explore coping strategies, build resilience, and clarify next steps toward the life they want to lead.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristen integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth - this approach can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and panic symptoms by teaching practical skills and structured exercises. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation - it can be useful for coping with stress, anger, and day-to-day overwhelm.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is done collaboratively. Kristen will explore a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and tailor methods accordingly, blending techniques when that best supports progress. The process emphasizes partnership and practical steps toward change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward the client’s goals.
