Kristen has nine years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. She practices in Colorado and has worked a lot with the military community and adults of different ages. Her style is direct and approachable, and she emphasizes building a safe working relationship to support change. In sessions she combines conversation with practical action. She likes to set collaborative goals and check progress between meetings. That means talking through what’s getting in the way, practicing new ways to cope, and trying small experiments to test out changes. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-based approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. Those approaches shape how she helps people manage symptoms and make life changes without jargon or overly technical language. People who meet with Kristen often use therapy to clarify values, reduce distress, improve communication, and find more balance in daily life. She positions herself as a partner on the path to change and recognizes that the work can feel hard and lonely at times.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes tied to life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. Kristen will work together with clients to find the best approach. She treats the first few sessions as a time to understand goals, try options, and agree on practical steps. That way the therapeutic method fits the person rather than the other way around. If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. It can also allow people to choose audio-only or video moments based on what is most practical for them. Ask about options when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can match your needs.
