To whom it may concern, Kristina Kerr is equipped to provide the services and tools patient/clients require for proper talk therapy. Yes, proper. Unlike some talk therpists , Kristina has chosen to be an acutely accurate counselor rather than a woke bulkshit artist. Kristina focuses on her patient/customer's well being and personalized problem solving. Kritina provides solutions. Kristina choses to be highly efficient on the behalf of her clients by eliminating false happy talk and absurd fads known as "techniques." Kristina is very intelligent and highly skilled. Due to her career she tactfully and gently operates the weapons/tools necessary to locate/expose all malignancies in her scope. Kristina draws out the will of her clients to grasp her outstretched hand in the midst of crippling pain and to allow her to liberate them. SHE DRAWS OUT THE WILL, THE WILL, OF THE PEOPLE TO GET BETTER. That my fellow human beings, is only the beginning of a long list of Kristinas talents . Cordially, Lydia Hughes
More about Kristina
- 20 years' experience

- LPC
Hi, my name is Kristina Kerr. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from Butler University and my Master's in Counseling from Trevecca University. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor in TN and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in KY. I am also a Masters Addictions Counselor and a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional so I am very comfortable working with clients who have issues related to addiction and trauma or both. I have worked in the mental health field with a wide variety of clients and populations for the past 20 years. I enjoy providing individual counseling to people dealing with a wide variety of diagnoses from the DSM-5 such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Substance Use Disorders, etc. as well as issues particular to the individual such as low self esteem, anger management, stress management/reduction, relationship issues, parenting struggles, and other issues that may come up during the therapeutic process.
I view all my clients through the lens of the person centered concept of unconditional positive regard. This means I show unconditional positive acceptance and regard towards all my clients in the therapeutic process. I strive to provide a safe space for the individual to work through the issues they may be struggling with or symptoms they would like to get a better handle on related to a DSM diagnosis without judgement or fear of condemnation. I like to establish a therapeutic rapport by meeting the client wherever they are at and building a mutual relationship based on trust, openness, and respect.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic evidence based concepts such as CBT, DBT (which I am certified in), Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and general coping skills to address specific symptoms or issues that you may be struggling with. I use whatever concept(s) the client is comfortable with or feels works best for them. This includes incorporating different principles or concepts from the evidence based techniques listed above to fit the particular issues you may be struggling with at different points in the therapeutic process. Due to this, I feel I use more of an intergraded approach when it comes to doing therapy because my goal is to use the techniques or concepts that work best for the client to heal and grow as a person and achieve the outcome they want from engaging in therapy.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you to help you reach the goals you would like to in therapy!

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.
