About Kristen

Kristen Templin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She works from Pennsylvania and focuses on addressing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and family concerns. Kristen aims to help people feel heard and regain balance during difficult times.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set small, doable goals.

Kristen uses tools that fit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and staying present. Kristen also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in what matters to the person in the room.

Over her career she has supported people through grief, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, end-of-life issues, and family problems. She also addresses body image, process addictions, seasonal mood shifts, and the isolation that can come with major life changes. Kristen communicates in English and practices as a Pennsylvania LCSW - PA LCSW CW014700.

Her approach is aimed at meeting people where they are and helping them build skills for everyday life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. It helps people feel understood and makes it easier to tackle sensitive family or personal topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, attend from home, or check in between sessions. For many people the flexibility helps maintain momentum and keeps progress moving forward.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
