About Kristin

Kristin Fahey is a Georgia-licensed clinical social worker (Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW, Certified Social Worker - CSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and depression. Her work is practical and straightforward. She focuses on what feels most pressing and manageable in daily life.

In sessions she listens without judgment and encourages clear, honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. Kristin uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means clients can expect to practice new ways of noticing thoughts, testing small changes, and choosing actions that fit their values.

She also brings experience with caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, substance concerns, eating-related issues, fertility stress, and guilt or shame. These topics often come up alongside relationship and identity questions. Kristin helps people break concerns into workable steps and set realistic short-term goals.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Kristin helps people clarify what matters now, try brief experiments between sessions, and revise plans based on what works. Her style aims to reduce overwhelm by naming the next small move instead of promising big fixes.

Kristin works in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People who want to explore direction, purpose, or clarity in their life can begin by choosing a first appointment and completing a brief matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Kristin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you, which can help when life feels directionless. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. She will discuss which techniques to prioritize and adjust the plan as clients report what helps or doesn’t.

Confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or home. Kristin uses these methods to support focused, practical steps toward clearer direction rather than promising specific outcomes.
