Kristen Hamm

Kristen Hamm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Kristen also lists life purpose, midlife shifts, and issues like abandonment and codependency among her focus areas.

Her approach blends practical, talk-based methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to keep sessions grounded and action-oriented.

In sessions she helps people name what feels stuck and tries small, doable steps to change that. Conversations include looking at thoughts, testing new behaviors, and setting short goals. She often focuses on improving communication, dealing with guilt or shame, and rebuilding confidence after major life changes.

Kristen draws on long personal experience as well as professional work. She mentions parenting and relationship topics alongside women's issues, loneliness, and social anxiety as typical areas people bring. The tone is straightforward and practical, with attention to how daily routines and small choices affect mood and purpose.

To begin, she asks questions about current struggles and what someone wants to be different. That information guides how she and the person decide which strategies to try first.

How Kristen’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and values and take small actions that match what matters to them. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the best fit is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to try based on their goals and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from ACT, CBT, Client-Centered, and Solution-Focused methods so the plan stays practical and focused on everyday changes.

If you plan to meet online, please confirm the session formats offered before booking since her biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists commonly adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice for virtual sessions so people can try new habits between meetings.
