About Kristy
Kristy LaMar is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes short, practical plans and talks through small steps so overwhelmed parents can try changes without feeling stuck. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for busy families.
Kristy has four years of professional experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW in California.
Background and approach
She has supported people coping with life changes and building everyday confidence. She also brings attention to adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and women's concerns when relevant. In sessions she focuses on clear communication and straightforward problem-solving.
Conversations center on what is happening now and what small shifts might help. She adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Kristy pays close attention to family of origin patterns, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
She helps clients sort through relationship problems and communication difficulties as they affect daily life. The aim is to create practical changes that reduce stress and improve functioning. Starting therapy is framed as a step that takes courage, and Kristy works to keep the process simple.
She tailors the plan to each client and checks in often to make sure the approach feels useful.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Kristy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clear communication. One common approach involves identifying small, doable steps to reduce anxiety and stress, which helps when daily demands feel overwhelming. Another approach centers on building self-esteem and motivation through focused conversations and goal-setting that can be done in short online sessions.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Kristy works with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort with online formats. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is or is not helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep progress going between in-depth conversations. The variety of formats lets clients pick the way of working that feels most practical for them.
