How Kristin works
With 12 years of experience as an LPC in Pennsylvania, she has worked with adults and teens facing a wide range of issues. That experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and mood disorders. She also has experience related to caregiving stress, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics.
Kristin uses practical, evidence-informed methods during sessions, including acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavior tools, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. These tools are used to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build emotion regulation skills. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.
Kristin helps clients set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. She frames therapy as a shared effort toward clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day functioning.

Online support options
How Kristin’s therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small actions that line up with those values to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching skills, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules change.
