About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Tugman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
She also supports clients working on self-esteem, career challenges, and motivation. She speaks English and uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. Her style is collaborative and strength-based.
She starts by listening and helping clients name what matters most. From there she and the client set simple, practical goals to try between sessions.
Background and approach
She keeps language plain and steps focused so progress feels manageable. In sessions she addresses grief, eating concerns, anger, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching for people who want clearer career direction or help rebuilding confidence.
Compassion fatigue work is part of her practice for those feeling emotionally worn down. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model can be canceled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.
Instructions to begin are available through the Start Therapy button and a short matching questionnaire. Dr. Tugman values the courage it takes to seek help and treats that first step as important.
She aims to make the process understandable and to help clients try manageable changes that fit their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Dr. Tugman uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she relies on helps people identify thought and behavior patterns that maintain stress and anxiety, then teaches simple tools to shift those patterns. This approach suits work on anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.Another frequently used method involves problem-focused coaching and goal setting. That work breaks larger concerns like career shifts, motivation, or rebuilding confidence into small, testable steps clients can try between sessions. It can be especially useful for people who want clear next actions and measurable progress.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. She listens to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggests techniques that match. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps most, so the client and therapist shape the path together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls let people preserve visual connection, phone sessions remove video needs, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit help into a busy life and to maintain momentum between sessions with a licensed professional.
