More about Kristen
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My approach to client care is calm, collaborative and grounding through the lens of trauma informed care. I work with clients to assist with accessing and expressing emotions to create emotional resilience. In addition to my own experience with grief and grief therapy, I have been providing care to bereaved clients for the past five years after working in hospice and palliative care; I completed the work to receive a Fellow of Thanatology. While grief is of particular interest to me, I also work with patients facing a wide variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Together we can create a space to heal.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
