About Kirstin

Kirstin Davis is a Michigan-based licensed social worker (LMSW) with 12 years of experience working across clinical settings, including prior roles supporting adults and adolescents in neuropsychology and people with traumatic brain injuries.

Background and approach

She has supported clients facing a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, career transitions, and ADHD. Her background includes work with diverse populations and a focus on practical life management and recovery from trauma.

Her style centers on meeting clients where they are without judgment and collaborating to discover workable strategies rather than offering prescriptive advice. Kirstin emphasizes listening to each person’s story and exploring new angles for change, blending client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques.

She aims to build a strong therapeutic alliance and help clients move toward their goals while honoring their pace and preferences. Because she travels frequently, Kirstin generally prefers voice-based sessions and may use video for some initial meetings; prospective clients should select her only if they are comfortable with that arrangement.

She works in English and practices in Michigan as an LMSW (MI LMSW 6801111204).

Approaches and online care that meet you where you are

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building an empathic relationship, helping clients feel heard while they explore values, goals, and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-management challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by drawing out their own reasons for wanting to move forward and fostering commitment to goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, preferences, and objectives. That collaborative stance means techniques may be adjusted over time as goals evolve and progress is reviewed together.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or frequent travel. These formats allow regular contact and continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles, and they make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments through messaging and brief check-ins.
