About Kristin

Kristin "Krissy" Smith is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 10 years of clinical experience working across the lifespan from children to older adults. She brings a broad background in both individual and group therapy, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief and loss, career stress, and trauma. Her work emphasizes practical strategies like cognitive behavioral techniques and stress management exercises while also honoring each person’s unique starting point.

Kristin follows a client-centered philosophy - meeting people where they are and tailoring care rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. That flexibility has allowed her to support clients dealing with relationship challenges, addiction, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when helpful to explore patterns that affect wellbeing.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach focused on realistic skills, symptom reduction, and improved coping. Kristin aims to help people take meaningful first steps toward greater balance and satisfaction in daily life, guiding each person toward goals that matter most to them.

Client-Centered and CBT Support for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and adapting the pace of care to each person’s needs. It helps people feel understood and empowered to set their own goals, and is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Kristin collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best given their concerns, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress develops. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individual strengths and challenges.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, support continuity during life transitions, and provide multiple ways to stay connected with licensed professionals and therapists as progress is made.
