Dr. Good has been with me through thick and thin. As a therapist I've found her to be not just a shoulder to cry on, but also a staunch advocate for my own dignity and welfare in all areas of my life. Dr. Good combines a wonderfully empathetic approach to identifying issues with a incisive eye for family dynamics, allowing her to work hand-in-hand with me to develop effective therapeutic measures that I use every day of my life. She's kind, she's funny, she cares. I give her a 10/10.

More about Kristin
- 24 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
With over twenty years of professional experience, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, who uses Strength and Evidence-based techniques to help people overcome symptoms of anxiety and /or depression. I meet you where you are using a positive Client-centered approach. This means we work on your priorities, in English or Spanish. We establish your goals, learn and practice new skills that you will be able to use throughout your life to meet future challenges, and successfully improve the quality of your life-to your standards. I see problems as opportunities to change and grow. What I enjoy most about my work, is using my training and experience to help people feel listened to, to help them understand their feelings, the feelings of others and to use that greater understanding to develop greater self-compassion and self-appreciation. I enjoy helping people reduce their pain and suffering and begin to feel empowered to go beyond merely surviving and begin to really thrive, realizing their potential to live a fuller, more satisfying and meaningful life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
