About Kristin
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 22 years of experience, Kristin Fox-Klingensmith helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and life changes.
Kristin works in a direct, interactive way. She combines cognitive-behavioral tools, client-centered conversation, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes work in community mental health, a psychiatric hospital, an outpatient clinic, and county jails. That range has exposed her to both high-intensity and everyday concerns. She draws on that experience when planning treatments and pacing progress.
In sessions, Kristin aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental. She avoids stigmatizing labels and invites clients to set the agenda. The therapeutic relationship is presented as the foundation for collaborative work toward specific objectives.
She incorporates evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused conversation. Practical skills and short experiments are commonly used to test new ways of coping and to build momentum.
Kristin also notes she has used therapy personally, which informs her understanding of how hard it can feel to reach out. She asks that people begin with a clear sense of what they want to change, and she works with them to develop steps toward those goals.

How core approaches are used in remote work
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set clear goals and next steps. This approach supports people who want to shape sessions around their most pressing issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or addictive behaviors with practical homework between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help people who struggle with strong emotions, impulsive behavior, or relationship conflicts.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to identify needs, match methods to goals, and adjust the plan over time. Early sessions usually focus on clarifying what the client wants to change and which techniques feel most useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can recommend brief exercises and between-session tasks that fit into everyday life to support steady progress.
