About Kristy

Her background includes four years of clinical practice in California as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). During that time she has supported people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

When someone reaches out, Kristy works with them to set clear, manageable goals. She adapts pacing and methods to a person’s needs and preferences. The aim is steady progress through practical skills, clearer thinking, and better coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kristy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on practical skills to reduce stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-management strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral changes, helping people break larger problems into small, manageable steps so progress feels tangible.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristy collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so the work fits the person rather than the person fitting a fixed method.
If you are considering remote work, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for faster scheduling. They also let people use quieter surroundings, reduce time away from work or family tasks, or opt for a session without video when that is preferable. Licensed professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help people sustain regular appointments and apply what they learn to daily life.
