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.

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.
