About Kristen
Kristen views the first step toward change as an act of courage and offers steady, compassionate support throughout the process. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she combines practical strategies with a client-centered attitude so that treatment reflects each person’s unique needs, goals, and pace. Her work emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify options and build skills that fit their circumstances.
Clients seeking help with coping, healing, and meaningful life changes will find a therapist who values empathy, clear communication, and real-world tools. Kristen helps people translate insight into action and supports them as they test new approaches, set priorities, and reclaim a sense of purpose and well-being.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Kristen Smith integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration so clients feel understood and supported as they explore their goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. DBT offers strategies for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance, which can be especially helpful for mood instability, relationship challenges, and coping under stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time, combining supportive listening with skill-building so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the way of communicating that feels most effective for each stage of treatment.
