About Kristen

LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) with six years of experience, based in Ohio. Kristen Schmauder helps people who are struggling with mood, stress, relationship, and trauma-related concerns using evidence-based techniques.

Kristen has worked in residential, home, and private practice settings. She sees people who report anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties coping with life changes. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, career or school stress, and ADHD-related concerns.

She has experience with people who have a history of trauma, including neglect and emotional or physical abuse. Kristen describes her clinical approach as combining cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, strengths-based, and solution-focused methods. That mix guides how she structures sessions and sets goals with each person.

In practical terms she uses problem-solving, exploring patterns from the past, and building on existing strengths. Sessions include focused skill work and time to talk through recent struggles so clients can try new ways of handling problems between meetings.

Her work aims to be collaborative: she helps people set goals, test small changes, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site’s booking flow.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Kristen uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas as core parts of her work. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new coping skills, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that developed over time and how past relationships and experiences influence current feelings and reactions.

She also draws on strengths-based and solution-focused techniques. Strengths-based work highlights what already works for the person and builds on those abilities. Solution-focused work narrows attention to small, practical steps and short-term goals that can be tested between sessions. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process; she works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, offer options for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can work with you to set an approach that fits your schedule and the issues you want to address.
