Hi! I am Dr. Kristen Rumley. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience. I am also a USAF Veteran, where I served 8 years active duty. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I have 15 years specialized experience working with military, military families, first responders, and disaster response. I also have a lot of experience working with people on relationships, boundaries, and attachment theory. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am genuine and authentic and I strive to do the best I can to help people. I believe that success in therapy is strongly related to the therapeutic relationship. I also believe that you have what you need within yourself to change your self-concept, behaviors, and attitudes and you have the ability to reach your highest potential. My role is to help you discover and understand yourself for overall personal-growth. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I do prefer video as a means to do sessions but I am open to phone if you feel more comfortable with that. I do not offer live chat options for 1:1 counseling. Thank you for trusting me with what you are going through.

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.
