Kristen Boisrond , LCSW

Kristen Boisrond is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and grief. She focuses on building confidence and practical coping skills. People often come to her when life changes feel overwhelming or when they need clear support through loss and transitions.

Kristen creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She prioritizes listening first, then works with each person to set simple, doable goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what feels most urgent to the client.

Her practice includes support for issues tied to family of origin, communication problems, divorce and separation, and infidelity. She also offers help for caregivers facing stress, people coping with cancer or hospice matters, and those dealing with adoption or foster care-related concerns. She addresses loneliness, a sense of emptiness, and questions about life purpose.

Kristen has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW, licensed in Texas and Louisiana. That background informs a practical approach to therapy that combines emotional support with hands-on strategies. She aims to help people leave sessions with something they can try right away.

To begin, she guides clients through a short intake and collaborative planning process. The focus is on small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable. Kristen encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out and take the first step.

Approaches and online options for everyday challenges

Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional relief. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing grief and loss by helping clients tell their story, recognize what matters most, and find manageable ways to carry memories forward while adjusting to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each client to match techniques to their needs, goals, and comfort level. She encourages trying different strategies and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and live chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coping tools between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
