She practices with sensitivity and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs and circumstances. Kristin holds an LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which indicates formal training and clinical experience in counseling and psychotherapy.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering encouragement and practical support while helping clients take the steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Kristin also produces a mental health podcast called outisthroughpodcast, which can serve as an additional resource between sessions for those who find that format helpful. Interested individuals are asked to allow a minimum of 48 hours notice when requesting an appointment so there is time to receive and confirm the request. If a confirmation email is not received, the appointment has not been secured. Kristin looks forward to the opportunity to support and empower others on their journey toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Kristin commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR when appropriate, adapting these methods for remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster insight and self-directed growth - it is helpful for building confidence and navigating life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. EMDR is a structured method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it can be offered in stages and paced according to the client’s readiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She guides that decision-making while adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kristin is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, at work, or while traveling, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person visits are not practical.
