About Kristen
Kristen Hamm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses practical, down-to-earth approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She keeps conversations straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Kristen aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can take steps toward change.
Her sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, doable goals and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client’s own values and strengths. Kristen has five years of professional experience as an LPC in Oklahoma. She emphasizes helping people manage emotions, improve relationships, and build practical skills for daily life.
The focus is on learning tools that can be used between sessions, not just talking about problems. She believes the first step toward change takes courage and meets that step with gentle direction and practical techniques. Kristen values sensitivity and respects each person’s story while helping them find clearer thinking and greater peace.
Outside of practice, Kristen draws on long personal experience in family life which influenced her decision to become an LPC. That background informs a patient, steady approach to coaching and counseling.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Kristen frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and actions that keep stress and anxiety active. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting small, practical goals so progress is visible and manageable during a busy week.She also brings a Client-Centered approach, which means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens without judgment, and shapes sessions around what the client values most. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful for the client’s goals and situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into family life, work commitments, or times when leaving home is difficult. The variety of options supports consistent work, practical skill-building between sessions, and easier follow-through on agreed goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
