About Krista
Krista Asp is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on personal and relationship growth. She combines practical tools with a supportive style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship shifts, and midlife changes. Sessions aim to clarify what matters and move toward realistic goals.
She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and attachment-focused work to address how thoughts and relationship patterns affect daily life. Krista also integrates emotion-focused methods and has pursued post-graduate work in mindfulness-based stress reduction and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). This mix helps people manage trauma reactions, improve communication, and rebuild connection.
Krista describes her work as solution-oriented while keeping an attitude of unconditional positive regard. She meets people where they are and helps them identify small, doable steps to feel better. That can mean practicing new communication habits, testing different coping strategies, or working through painful memories at a sustainable pace.
Her practice includes work with individuals and couples on life transitions such as grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness, divorce, and shifting roles during midlife. She also supports people with concerns about self-esteem, body image, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Krista holds licensure in Tennessee and brings six years of clinical experience. People who choose her can expect a calm, practical approach that focuses on clear goals and steady progress.

How her approaches translate to online work
Krista uses attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people notice and change repeating habits. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping clients find their own answers through empathic reflection and collaboration. Cognitive behavioral techniques address unhelpful thoughts and teach practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Krista will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not helping.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to balance work and care responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work so the focus stays on practical steps and steady progress.
