Great Couselor, helps me realize differing perspectives and even where I am at fault in situations without a pointed judging feeling.

Reviewed August 2024

Kristin takes the time to make me feel comfortable and safe, and I think that's the most important aspect of my therapy. I'm so afraid to talk about my problems for fear of shame, but I feel safe speaking with Kristin, and she's not afraid to address my problems head-on in a way that makes my mental health manageable.

More about Kristin

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW, LISW-CP

Welcome to the Better Help Community. Thank you for trusting us to help you. My name is Kristin Scott-Groves and I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia. I have worked as a clinical therapist and college professor, teaching psychology of lifespan development. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Master of Social Work degree. I currently hold a certification as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and a certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (C-DBT). I have worked with different populations including military members and their families, as well as children, adolescents, and teenagers. My experience includes working with individuals with anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, parenting, and adjustment to change.

My approach to therapy is client centered. You are the expert on your life and you determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I help guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This can help clients find the unhelpful and unhealthy thought patterns as well as learn healthier ways of thinking.

I applaud you for taking the first step in better health. I know that starting something new can be scary. If you are ready to take the next step in making healthy changes in your life, I will work with you on your path to success.

About online counseling

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.

Kristin is such a lovely person to speak with. I feel validated, safe and comfortable to share parts of my life with her. I feel seen and understood with each session of healing I do. I get constructive feedback and understand more about my own thought process. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with anxiety or depression she’s deeply knowledgeable in this area. I really appreciate her help.

Reviewed June 2023

I was not a willing convert to therapy. For years, I’ve resisted seeking help. Tried couples therapy with my husband but each session ended up highlighting more wrongs than rights which left me confused and hurt. So when my son suggested I try BetterHelp for myself, I was not enthused. However, I joined and worked with two very good therapists before I found Kristin. She immediately put me at ease with her open style and active listening. I do prefer the face to face video option over texting or a phone call, too. We have been talking now for a few months and each visit has helped me to exam my past but to see that, although my past does influence who I am today, it doesn’t mean that I will continue to dwell there. IOW, I am stronger and more resilient because of the past traumas. I am now able to see more clearly what are red flags and how to set boundaries. These are all lessons I’ve learned since talking with Kristin. Her wisdom and care helps me to feel better about myself and more hopeful for the future. I’m very grateful to her!
