More about Kirsten
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a compassionate, licensed social work therapist specializing in children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, crisis, life transitions, and emotional stress. I have experience supporting concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, postpartum experiences, and family-related challenges across school, residential, and community-based settings. My trauma-informed, client-centered, and collaborative approach focuses on building emotional regulation, strengthening coping skills, and increasing stability during times of change. I strive to create a safe, culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported—taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here!

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.
