About Krista

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a blend of practical talk therapy and skill-building to help people improve relationships and personal wellbeing. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She works from Tennessee and offers sessions in English.

Krista draws on approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral methods to guide sessions. She often combines these with emotionally-focused techniques to strengthen connection and with EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her background includes a postgraduate degree from a CACREP-accredited program at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Krista has six years of clinical experience and holds LPC licenses in Colorado and Tennessee: CO LPC LPC.0013923 and TN LPC 6027.

She has continued professional learning in mindfulness-based stress reduction and EMDR-related approaches. People come to Krista for a wide range of concerns, including parenting and family stress, grief, intimacy and communication issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image or eating concerns, and relationship transitions such as separation or divorce.

Her sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary depending on location and therapist availability. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Online approaches that meet people where they are

Attachment-based work focuses on how people connect with others. It helps with relationship patterns, trust, and repairing hurt. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and acceptance, giving people space to be heard and to guide the focus of sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and together they will pick or adapt methods that fit the person's needs. That makes the plan feel practical and realistic rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage childcare or transportation limits, and check in between live appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, process relationship issues, and work on trauma-focused strategies in ways that suit each person.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
