Background and approach
She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way and build skills to move forward. Her work covers grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, commitment and control issues, and feelings of emptiness and shame. Kristena pays attention to how health conditions like chronic pain or intellectual disability affect coping and daily life. Kristena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions around each person’s needs and goals.
She treats career worries alongside emotional struggles, recognizing how one affects the other. The approach is practical, compassionate, and centered on the client’s voice. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Tennessee.
Kristena values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to create a collaborative space where people can build clearer next steps.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Kristena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and replacing them with more useful habits to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach targets relationship and attachment patterns to improve communication and emotional closeness.Choosing the right method is a team effort. Kristena collaborates with each person to pick and adapt approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working to find a better fit together.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options allow scheduling across busy days and let people use the format that feels most comfortable. The range of formats supports ongoing work even when life gets complicated, helping clients stay consistent with therapy.
