About Krista
Krista Asp uses attachment-focused and client-centered methods to guide people through personal and relationship challenges. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience based in Tennessee. Her style is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people find balance and clearer connection in everyday life.
Krista draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and mindfulness-based strategies learned during post-graduate development.
How Krista works
Sessions focus on real-life skills, clearer communication, and reducing unhelpful patterns. Her background includes a post-graduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, an institution accredited by CACREP. That training combined cognitive and behavioral techniques with trauma-informed care.
Over six years she has worked across a range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity topics such as LGBT concerns. Krista aims to keep sessions solution-oriented while holding an attitude of unconditional positive regard. She helps people identify practical steps, reframe negative thinking, and strengthen emotional bonds with important others.
People who want clear strategies and compassionate listening may find this approach helpful. She offers multiple remote session formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

Online support options
How attachment and CBT translate to online care
Krista commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand relationship patterns and rebuild emotional connection. That work focuses on how past bonds affect current interactions and can be useful for intimacy, commitment, and attachment issues.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT provides clear homework and skill practice that often fits well into online sessions and between-session check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then decide together which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps tailor the work to what matters most to the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Chat and text formats work well for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health demands.
