About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Good focuses on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, parenting struggles, and problems tied to identity or relationships. She is a California licensed psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY20854) with 24 years of experience.
She works in English and Spanish. Her style is warm and practical, aiming to help people feel heard and to build usable skills for everyday life. She starts by listening closely and setting goals the client finds meaningful.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear steps and practiceable tools rather than long lectures. Therapy often includes learning coping skills, practicing new ways to communicate, and finding small changes that ease daily stress. Her training includes cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness-influenced approaches that focus on changing patterns of thinking and behavior.
She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. Jungian ideas may inform deeper work about meaning and personal narratives. Dr.
Good views difficult moments as chances to grow. She helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and strengthen resilience. That includes support for issues such as grief, addiction, eating or sleep concerns, and identity-related stress.
Practically, sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. Fees vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approach, online care, and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s priorities first and creates a respectful space to set goals and pace. It focuses on listening and building a plan that fits what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns for issues like anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that targets distressing memories and reduces their intensity through guided processing when trauma is a central concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, explain how each method might help, and collaborate with the client to choose what feels best. That may mean combining approaches or adjusting methods as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people meet from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and use shorter check-ins or longer conversations as needed. The variety of formats supports ongoing skill practice and easier access to care from licensed professionals.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
