About Kristen
Kristen Boisrond is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents and adults can talk about what feels hard. Kristen aims to make the first step feel doable and affirms the courage it takes to begin.
She uses practical conversation to identify what’s getting in the way and then works with each person to set small, manageable goals.
How Kristen works
Sessions focus on real-life strategies for coping with change, rebuilding confidence, and handling relationship conflict. Kristen also brings experience supporting people through adoption and foster care issues, cancer and hospice concerns, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce. Her background includes seven years of professional practice and licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW in Texas and Louisiana.
That experience informs how she structures sessions and traces progress over time. Kristen aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what clients want to change. People can expect clear discussion about problems and options, direct suggestions when useful, and space to name emotions without judgment.
She helps people work through family of origin issues, communication problems, infidelity, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Kristen also supports practical concerns such as hoarding behaviors, forgiveness work, and exploring life purpose. Therapy with her can include different formats and pacing depending on what fits a person’s schedule and goals.
She encourages whoever is ready to take the next step to begin the process and see whether her style feels like the right fit.

Approaches and how online therapy works
Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical problem solving and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes identifying specific behaviors and thoughts that contribute to anxiety or low mood, then testing small changes to see what helps. This approach helps when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life.Another helpful method centers on grief and loss work, giving space to name feelings, remember what’s been lost, and find ways to move forward. That work tends to be gentle and paced to what each person can handle, and it can support people facing cancer, hospice, or caregiver stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best for the issues at hand.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can be lower-bandwidth or easier on days when being on camera is hard, and messaging or chat are good for short check-ins and ongoing support. These options let people fit care into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
