About Kristen
Kristen Burroughs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with six years of professional experience. She draws on a background in K-12 school counseling to guide her work with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Kristen aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for anyone ready to start talking about their concerns.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
How Kristen works
Kristen also works in a solution-focused way, setting clear goals and focusing on small steps that make a direct difference. Much of her work is brief and action-oriented, so conversations often center on what to try between sessions. Kristen brings experience running groups and offering psychoeducation on topics like grief and mindfulness.
She has worked with transient and immigrant populations and with members of the LGBTQA+ community, which informs her flexible approach. That background means she often incorporates teaching and skills-building alongside talk therapy. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on practical strategies and compassionate listening.
She is open to using a mix of individual and group formats depending on the concern. Kristen encourages small, steady changes that add up to better day-to-day coping. People who want clear goals, usable tools, and a nonjudgmental therapist may find her approach helpful.
She supports clients through difficult emotions and helps them build confidence and healthier routines.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through emotions and build self-direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks, and shift unhelpful thinking through exercises and between-session work.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what a person wants to change and identifies small, achievable steps. It is useful for people who prefer short-term work and clear goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she can adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skills coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to try different formats to see what helps most.
