How Kristen works
She blends mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work to help clients notice habits, find motivation, and reframe personal stories. Sessions are conversational and grounded. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be named and examined.
She encourages practical steps and small changes so progress can be felt between sessions. Dr. Rumley pays particular attention to issues such as abandonment, communication problems, codependency, blended family challenges, first responder stress, and guilt or shame.
She helps people work through infidelity, divorce and separation, and the emotional fallout after disasters. Her approach centers on collaboration. She believes people already have strengths to build on and that therapy helps uncover them.

Online support options
How her approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients see how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and personal goals, giving space for people to be heard and to set the pace for change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then recommend ways of working together. This decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options offer scheduling flexibility and make it easier to attend sessions from different places and routines.
