About Kristen
Her background spans inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, community-based agencies, residential drug and alcohol centers, and private practice. Over the course of her career she has supported individuals at many points on the mental health spectrum, including those facing adjustment challenges, depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and complex psychosocial stressors.
Kristen takes a collaborative approach to treatment - partnering with each person to identify priorities, build strengths, and develop practical strategies for change. She draws on evidence-based methods and personalizes interventions to match a person’s goals, values, and life circumstances. Areas of clinical focus include stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among others.
Clients working with Kristen can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental clinician who emphasizes skill-building, coping strategies, and realistic steps toward improved functioning and well-being. She aims to be an ally during the process of navigating life changes and recovery.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristen Edwards commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps people explore their goals and values while feeling heard. CBT examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stressful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress, trauma, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to individual circumstances rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy can make that collaboration more accessible by offering multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them. Working with licensed professionals through these modalities supports continuity of care and practical access to evidence-based approaches.
