About Kirstin
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 12 years of experience. Kirstin Davis focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related issues. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing.
Kirstin has worked in clinical settings that included neuropsychology and care for people with traumatic brain injuries. Her background includes practice in Texas and Michigan. She describes her role as listening to people’s stories and looking for different angles to address problems.
In sessions she centers the client’s perspective and goals. She approaches conversations without judgment and emphasizes collaborative planning rather than giving direct advice. Practical problem solving and short-term goal work are often part of sessions.
Kirstin commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns and to try new behaviors between meetings. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused steps to set achievable next moves. Trauma-focused methods are available when trauma or abuse is a concern.
She notes a preference for voice-only sessions after the initial meeting, and asks people to select her only if they are comfortable with phone-based therapy. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking. Kirstin conducts work in English and practices in Michigan as an LMSW.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps clarify priorities and build a plan based on the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors, then tries concrete changes and exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing supports people in resolving mixed feelings about change and strengthening their own reasons to act.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that suit the presenting problem, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. That process helps set clear, practical goals together.
She prefers voice-first sessions after an initial meeting and sometimes uses video for first appointments. Because session formats can change, confirm the current options before booking. Working remotely can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in distance sessions while adapting pacing and homework to fit everyday life.
