More about Kristy
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LPC-MHSP
I am licensed in Tennessee with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety/depression, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem/confidence, and addiction. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, but everyone deserves individualized treatment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I specialize in trauma approaches such as trauma focused CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitization.) I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek 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 look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
