More about Kirsten
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I believe that when people find and embrace their own strengths and trust in themselves; they can make positive changes in their lives. It's important to me that I provide a warm and trusting place for my clients to explore, grow, and thrive in. I draw from my experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness modalities to tailor therapy to meet each of my clients needs and preferences.
I graduated summa cum laude with a Master's of Science in mental health counseling in 2015. I have experience in hospital settings conducting behavioral health assessments and providing crisis intervention/stabilization, treatment, and discharge planning. In individual therapy, I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma/loss, domestic violence, neglect/abuse, substance abuse, body image and self-esteem, suicidal ideation/non-suicidal self-injury, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, and chronic medical conditions.

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.

Kirsten has this wonderful way about her that makes me feel seen/heard. She is very insightful and a joy to work with. She helped me develop routines & stay consistent with my self care ❤️
Kirsten is a phenomenal therapist. She has a very calming demeanor and is very well educated.
Kristen is amazing to work with! Really understanding and insightful.
She is the best. She understands me and we have chemistry which I think is essential in therapy. She has and much value to my life and has helped to improve my well-being
So far it’s been an excellent outlet for my emotions
Kirsten has been a godsend!
Kind, intelligent, thoughtful, resourceful, patient, empathetic, encouraging... The list of positive traits for Kirsten is endless. She is by far the best counselor I’ve seen in my past 15 years of attending therapy (with a number of different people). Talking to her is not only helpful, but a delight as well. And her cat is cute, too!
Kirsten has a very calming way of communicating with me and understands the struggles I am facing. She is straightforward and knowledgeable and has suggested various methods that I can and have used to help me. I highly recommend Kirsten.
Kirsten is a very attentive listener and provides many alternatives to dealing with personal issues and concerns. She is easy to talk to and gives a sense of openness and empathy. I really like her "let's try natural" first approach and it is refreshing in our modern world of pharmaceutical conglomerate control of medicines.
Kirsten is an absolute jewel. Thoughtful and smart. Insightful. Will call-out if need be. So supportive. I couldn't ask for more. 10/10
I've only had one live session with her, but we are always messaging because I have young kids and it's hard for me to break away at times. But in just one live session she helped me understand in depth so much of what happens scientifically, but in easy to understand ways, what my body is doing with the type of stress I'm under. Her voice is also very calming. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
Kirsten is an excellent!
I have only had a few sessions and I'm already feeling like it's helped me tremendously. I can't get better by myself.
So intuitive and understanding. She’s the reason I’m still using this app.
Discussing and talking with Kirsten is easy and helps in reflecting on my issues. Although I’ve only had two sessions with her, I would absolutely recommend her to another person.
Very helpful and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone I care about.
She’s the best! She helps me beyond words! So thankful for her
Kirsten has really helped me at a time in my life I needed someone most. She’s helped me deal with my anxiety and helped me learn how to control it. I would recommend her to everybody
Starting therapy with K. Berlin has been one of the best things I’ve done for myself. She’s been so helpful. I’ve had 3 other therapist in the past and feel most comfortable working with her. Not only was I at one of the lowest places mentally that I’ve ever been but allot of things have happened during my time seeing her and she’s been absolutely needed to get over those hurdles. I look forward to my appointments and feel like I’m able to have an outlet as well as receive guidance on how to get through and handle things. Overall she’s helping me learn how to regulate my emotions and handle big problems and big feelings. I’m a better person for it.
She has already been so kind and listens so well. She is patient and really hears what I’m saying- she’s also very perceptive. I’m so thankful for her. She also has a great sense of humor that helps when you’re bogged down with your own drama.
Kristen has good insight and offers good suggestions to issues at hand. She looks at it from every perspective and gives good advice. Without a doubt a perfect fit to my needs.
I have been seeing Kirsten Berlin for about 4-5 months now. She is an amazing therapist and works very intensely with any issues I may throw at her. I’m up and down with anxiety, depression and panic and Kirsten always offers tools to help in any situation I may be. She has assigned reflection “homework” to remind me of ways to overcome fears or to accept situations and view them from new perspectives. I am a work in progress and Kirsten is extremely supportive.
Kirsten has been a blessing right from the start of working with her. I met with her after having experienced a series of personal traumas, and she put me at ease while I was in a very vulnerable state. She has been patient and attentive, and has provided a lot of wisdom that has helped me begin to heal in meaningful ways that I know will have a lasting impact on my life.
I highly recommend Ms. Kirsten! She helped me turn my marriage around and I am so thankful for her advice, her guidance and direction.
Kirsten is very easy to talk to, I feel very comfortable talking to her and I usually have a very hard time talking to others. She listens, she's funny, and gives me great advice to help with my anxiety. I look forward to every session because I feel safe and heard and understood. She's great !
She is polite, up beat, and encouraging. She never makes me feel awkward or out of place.
She’s the best!
She has been the best therapist I have ever had, from the moment I first reached out she had been helpful and shows a real care in wanting to help me get better.
I have only done one session so far. We got to know each other a little bit, and so far I think this might work great. I hope I can update this review as we go.
Although I have yet to start she responds very quickly I cant wait to meet you Kirsten!!!!
Kirsten is the most caring mental health provider that I have ever had the privilege of working with. I am thankful for her wide range of expertise and allowing me to express emotions and frustrations of living in a neurodivergent brain as well as having compounded traumatic experiences. I am functioning better in my daily life, which is my main concern, just after a few sessions! Kirsten is such an amazing professional who validates her patient's concerns endlessly. She has such a big heart and deeply understands the human experience & how to help us better approach that constant life long experience, which is what many of us need a lot of the time. She deeply listens with care and concern, and curates my needs and next steps based off of who I am at my core and what I like, even! I highly recommend Kirsten, she is an amazing healer and professional! Thank you for reading(:
I accidentally answered the first question of the survey as completely disagree when I meant to answer completely agree. Kirsten has been nothing but professional and extremely helpful. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Great
