Kristen Adriazola

Kristen Adriazola is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LICSW credentials and works from Washington. Kristen helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She focuses on practical conversations in session. Kristen listens to the problem and then helps people break it into manageable steps. She pays attention to how attachment, communication, guilt, and shame show up in daily life. She also supports people who are struggling with isolation, low self-esteem, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kristen works with clients to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try small changes that can alter those patterns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and improve coping skills. Progress is checked regularly to make sure the work is useful.

Her style is direct and respectful. She adapts the pace to each person while focusing on skills people can use between sessions. Kristen also attends to relationships and communication habits when those areas are part of the concern.

People come to her when they want a clearer way forward from anxiety, relational strain, or past trauma. She supports clients as they explore what matters most and consider next steps in work, family life, or personal goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practice new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This method is useful for daily worry, low mood, and relationship friction.

Another approach addresses the effects of trauma by helping people process distressing memories and reduce the ways those memories affect current behavior. That work often includes grounding and coping skills to manage strong emotions and intrusive memories.

Kristen treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on how things are going.

The practical benefits of working online can include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. If you need clarity on formats, confirm which session types are offered before booking. The therapist and client then make choices that fit daily routines, whether that means a shorter check-in, a session without video, or regular meetings that match a work schedule.
