Muang Kistler , LCSW

Muang Kistler (pronounced Moo-wong) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a professional credential that authorizes clinical social work and therapy services. She transitioned to remote therapy in November 2022, bringing a background rooted in hospital-based medical social work and varied outpatient settings.

Before offering remote services, Muang spent nine years as a medical social worker across hospital settings including emergency departments, acute adult medicine, inpatient psychiatric care, and palliative care. She also worked in outpatient roles within primary care, at an outpatient dialysis center, and in a correctional facility. Those experiences inform a practical, compassionate approach to supporting adults facing complex medical, emotional, and social challenges.

Muang practices from an attachment perspective while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. She works with adults concerned about intergenerational or complex family systems, anxiety and depression, life transitions, chronic or acute medical conditions, grief and loss, and issues related to self-esteem and trauma. Therapy is treated as a collaborative partnership in which goals are identified, revisited, and adapted over time through honest, clear communication and a plan aimed at meaningful, achievable growth.
