More about Kristen

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Welcome to my profile. My name is Kristen and I am a licensed clinical social worker. As a medical social worker for 12 years I have been provided with experience in older adults issues, caregiver challenges, unanticipated health event crisis, isolation, depression, anxiety and drug/alcohol addiction.

My affirmation statement is "This Universe is infinite in potential and therefore so are we". It has been my experience that the therapeutic counseling process is crucial in recognizing our own infinite potential, making changes that no longer serve a healthy purpose in our lives and move us in a direction towards peace and serenity.

I have had the pleasure of witnessing the great efforts my clients make towards actualizing their goals and create happiness in their lives. I believe that we are all in the process of soul retrieval and it is my pleasure to work with individuals that are willing to take that journey.

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, 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.
