From the first meeting, I felt at ease and open to being transparent with Kristen. She allowed me to be expressive and even vulnerable up front. Great active listener and provider.

“Hello, I’m Kristen Owens, a dedicated licensed clinical social worker based in Virginia. With over 12 years of experience in the social work field, my journey has been shaped by a deep passion for helping individuals across all ages and backgrounds, including a special calling to support geriatrics and the aging population.
I also have a genuine enthusiasm for working with diverse populations and ages, as I believe each person’s journey is unique. My approach to therapy combines the power of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These frameworks allow me to help clients navigate their challenges by addressing thought patterns, finding effective solutions, and fostering positive change. Guided by empathy, I’m committed to meeting clients where they are on their unique journeys, ensuring that we work collaboratively towards achieving their goals.
From adults to children and every stage in between, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals from all walks of life, tailoring my approach to suit their distinct circumstances. My experience encompasses working with a range of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more. This breadth of experience allows me to provide comprehensive care that addresses the unique needs of each individual.
Outside of my professional work, I have a zest for traveling and enjoy exploring new places. Spending quality time with my family and friends is essential to me, as it reminds me of the importance of connections and the beauty of shared experiences.
As a licensed clinical social worker, my mission extends beyond individual sessions. I’m devoted to giving back to the community, creating a ripple effect of well-being that reaches far and wide. It’s my privilege to guide you on your path to growth, healing, and resilience.”

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.
