About Kristen
Kristen Dewberry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. She brings practical skills and a warm, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her manner is genuine and often lightened with humor to help people feel more at ease.
Kristen focuses on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Kristen blends straightforward talk with hands-on techniques drawn from her past work as a recreational therapist.
How Kristen works
That background means she sometimes uses creative or expressive activities alongside conversation. She helps people who are navigating parenting challenges, career shifts, ADHD questions, and relationship or anger concerns. People come to her for help with depression, low self-esteem, body image, and coping after big life changes.
She also supports those facing postpartum challenges, caregiver stress, and work-related strain. Kristen has additional focus on adoption and foster care, cancer-related issues, and first responder concerns. Her approach uses several practical methods, including client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused planning.
Sessions aim to identify small, actionable steps and build skills that fit everyday life. Kristen emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. She offers therapy in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Kristen uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online sessions
Kristen draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. That approach means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead to set goals and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adjust strategies based on a client’s goals and preferences. She explains options and tries techniques together so clients can see what fits their life and needs. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, reflections, or coaching-style support between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or caregiving responsibilities and help therapy fit into busy days.Start online instead of waiting
