About Kristen
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which pairs practical tools with talk-based work. Sessions include steps to notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and track what helps over time. Kristen blends that approach with attention to brain health and everyday routines that affect mood and energy.
Her style is interactive and accepting. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion. In sessions, she listens closely, asks concrete questions, and suggests actions you can try between meetings.
Kristen has worked in counseling for 12 years and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Texas. That experience includes supporting people through grief, workplace stress, relationship strain, and young adult concerns. She aims to make therapy practical, not just a place to talk.
Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet. Kristen offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs so people can pick what works for their life.
How CBT and brain-focused care work online
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT often includes goal-setting, homework between sessions, and tracking progress to build better daily habits. She also integrates attention to brain health and routines that influence sleep, energy, and mood, bringing that into practical weekly plans.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try brief strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, brain health coaching, or a mix of both best fits the situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions let people check in more frequently between appointments or complete shorter check-ins during a break from work. These options aim to make consistent care more accessible and flexible for everyday schedules.
