Over two decades in the field have given her experience with a wide range of concerns. These include body image, dissociation, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and feeling isolated. She also supports people facing control issues, life purpose questions, and midlife change.

Kristin practices in South Carolina as an LPC - licensed professional counselor. She offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows therapist availability.

How Kristin’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

The practice combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in ways that fit remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and daily coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and their emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist starts by asking about your goals and what’s been most difficult. Together you decide which method or combination makes sense, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video and phone let you have real-time conversations, while chat and text can support shorter check-ins and practice between sessions. Overall, online work aims to bring practical tools and trauma-informed techniques into the space that works best for each person.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
