About Krista

Krista McClinton is a Colorado-licensed LPC with 23 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and challenges related to self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She recognizes each client as the expert on their own life and emphasizes building on existing strengths to address issues such as parenting concerns, mood disorders, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her work blends practical strategies with a respectful, person-centered stance.

Krista draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help clients shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills for emotional regulation. She also uses solution-focused methods to set realistic goals and create actionable steps toward change, whether the focus is career, relationships, or coping with life transitions.

Krista brings a calm, encouraging presence to the therapeutic relationship and values collaboration in therapy. Prospective clients from Colorado and beyond who are seeking a thoughtful, strengths-based approach to stress, depression, trauma recovery, or life adjustments may find her style supportive and pragmatic.

Approaches that guide online sessions



Krista uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's own goals and values guide sessions; this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and building on each person's strengths to address concerns like low self-esteem or life transitions. She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. Krista works with clients to identify which approaches best match their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts direction over time as progress and priorities evolve. This partnership helps ensure sessions remain practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules or connect from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support when addressing issues like grief, workplace stress, or ADHD-related challenges, while allowing the therapist and client to tailor interaction style and frequency to what works best.
