Kristen DeVito , LPC

Kristen DeVito is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with four years of clinical experience. She works with people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression, helping them build practical skills and regain motivation.

Kristen frames each person as the expert of their own story and focuses on uncovering strengths that can support change. Her approach centers on collaboration, helping clients identify patterns related to attachment, control, communication, and impulsivity while developing tools to manage mood, panic, and the challenges that arise during life transitions such as divorce or caregiving stress.

She supports clients coping with complicated emotions like guilt, shame, and grief, and assists those facing isolation, midlife concerns, or financial stress that affect wellbeing. Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Kristen affirms the significance of that first step and aims to create a respectful, strengths-based space where clients can explore goals and build resilience.

Kristen provides therapy in English and offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill-building for managing stress and anxiety. These approaches teach coping strategies such as relaxation, thought reframing, and behavioral planning to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also applies motivational and behavior-focused strategies to support clients working through addictions and impulse-related concerns. These techniques help clarify values, increase readiness for change, and create step-by-step plans to replace unhelpful habits.

For grief and loss, Kristen offers supportive, goal-oriented work that helps clients process emotions, reconcile mixed feelings, and find ways to honor their experiences while moving forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the techniques that fit best, adjusting the plan as needs evolve and progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and those who cannot attend in-person appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals, maintain momentum between sessions, and receive support in ways that suit individual communication styles and life demands.
