About Kristin

Kristin Reyes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing relationship and family struggles. She also supports clients coping with trauma and abuse, mood instability such as bipolar disorder, and big life transitions. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, with a warm, human approach that values honesty and a little humor when it fits.

Kristin creates a relaxed space where clients can talk through painful events and confusing feelings.

Background and approach

She asks thoughtful questions and listens for patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She is comfortable addressing difficult topics like abandonment, attachment struggles, and family of origin issues. Over her 15-year career she has worked with people affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Her background includes supporting individuals impacted by traumatic brain injuries, chronic mental illness, and autism spectrum concerns. Kristin focuses on practical steps clients can take between sessions to make life more manageable. She believes trust is built gradually and that steady support helps people tolerate change.

Sessions emphasize clear, usable strategies alongside space to process feelings. Kristin aims to help clients rebuild routines, improve communication, and find clearer footing after loss or upheaval. People who reach out can expect a genuine, straightforward clinician who values connection, safety, and real conversation about life’s hardest moments.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Kristin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage emotions and repair relationships. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and replacing them with clearer, more workable habits; this is useful for mood instability and communication problems. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic events in small, steady steps so memories feel less overwhelming and daily functioning improves; this can help with trauma, abuse, and family-of-origin wounds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they want to address. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. It can allow for shorter check-ins when days are too full, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments during transitions. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same evidence-based techniques they use in office visits, while tailoring pacing and homework to each client's day-to-day routine.
