About Kristin
She brings 30 years of professional experience in Georgia to each session. Kristin aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through honestly. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her work draws on several approaches that fit different needs. Kristin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills.
Client-centered techniques guide the way she listens and responds, keeping the person’s goals central. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck and want help finding their next steps. Imago ideas can come into play around communication and relational patterns.
Kristin aims to meet people where they are and to collaborate on realistic goals. She encourages small changes that add up over time. If you are thinking about seeking help, she will support you through the process and work with you to find approaches that fit your life.

How Kristin’s approaches fit with online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner experiences, clarify what matters to them, and take small committed steps toward a more meaningful life. It can be useful for stress, midlife uncertainty, and depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. It is often used for anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and feel heard.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that seem likely to fit. If an approach needs adjustment, she will suggest alternatives and refine the plan as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the available online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well over distance while focusing on practical change and clearer communication.
