More about Kristen

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LISW

I am a social worker licensed in both Missouri and Ohio. I have several years experience working with individuals and families in the residential, home, and private practice setting. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, anger, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, parenting and peer problems, career or school challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma especially in regards to neglect, emotional and physical abuse.

My style is warm, understanding, and collaborative. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, strengths-based, solution focused therapy. I will tailor our interactions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes a lot of courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I would be honored to work with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed April 2020

Realizing I sometimes need a push to talk, Kristen has really displayed how quickly she has learned what works for me vs not, offers support and suggestions, not to mention patience. I’m impressed how she has been able to pick up on the ‘big things’ that make up me that I didn’t even realize. I’m glad to be working with her and would recommend to others.
