About Kristen
Kristen Hagin greets clients with a calm, straightforward style and a focus on practical support. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) who brings 17 years of experience to her work in Nebraska. She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions with clear, usable skills.
Kristen uses an individual-focused approach. She listens first, then helps people choose strategies that fit their life and goals.
How Kristen works
That might mean learning new coping skills, looking at thought patterns, or practicing emotional regulation tools. She also offers a listening space when someone needs an emotional outlet. Her background includes community behavioral health, services for youth-focused programs, and work in primary care settings.
That range shaped her ability to move between short-term problem-solving and longer-term skill building. She has worked with concerns from addiction and trauma to relationship and parenting stress. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Those approaches are used in down-to-earth ways - for example by setting small goals, practicing skills between sessions, and checking what’s working. Kristen aims for progress that feels useful in daily life. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Scheduling follows an online matching and booking process, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building
Kristen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals guide the work. That approach is helpful when someone needs an empathetic listener and wants support shaping their own path. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice small changes that improve mood and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and testing out new ways of thinking.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kristen will talk through options and tailor methods to your goals, preferences, and daily life. Together you can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust as needed so the work feels practical and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see each other for deeper conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coping tools, or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make consistent work possible around busy schedules and different routines.
