About Kristin
Kristin approaches therapy using client-centered methods alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior ideas. Sessions focus on clear, actionable steps people can try between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what matters and find internal reasons to make changes.
Her training includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of North Florida, where she graduated summa cum laude. Kristin has spent many years working in community agencies before moving into clinical practice. That background shaped her focus on real-world solutions and straightforward support.
In a session she listens for what feels most urgent, then introduces skills that match the person’s goals. Conversations often cover managing difficult feelings, improving communication, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Kristin frames the work as practical problem solving rather than abstract theory.
People often come wanting direction after a life change or more ease in day-to-day life. Kristin works with each person to identify small, doable changes. She encourages steady progress without promising a specific outcome.

How Kristin Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Kristin commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy means she focuses on what the person says matters most and follows their pace, listening carefully and reflecting what she hears. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based skills can be helpful for handling overwhelming feelings, staying present, and reducing conflict in relationships. Kristin will discuss which combination of approaches fits your goals and preferences as part of planning the work together.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice new skills in their usual routines and bring concrete day-to-day examples into sessions. Since different formats have different practical advantages, Kristin and the client decide together what will work best for scheduling and daily life.
