About Kristen

Kristen Barrett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who blends client-centered care with practical, evidence-based techniques.

Background and approach

With five years of experience in settings ranging from in-home and hospital care to personal offices and an outpatient day program, she draws on a range of clinical work to support people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, and relationship or family conflict. Her approach emphasizes warmth, clarity, and collaboration while tailoring methods to each person's needs.

She focuses on helping clients build self-esteem, manage stress, and navigate life transitions by combining cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tools. Kristen also has experience with caregiver stress, blended family challenges, intimacy and communication problems, and a variety of other concerns including trauma, grief, and issues related to sexual and alternative relationship cultures.

She aims to create an upbeat, nonjudgmental environment that encourages realistic goal setting and steady progress.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Strategies

Kristen draws on client-centered therapy to build a supportive, collaborative relationship where the client's goals guide the work; this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsivity. Mindfulness techniques are also incorporated to help clients increase present-moment awareness and stress regulation through simple attention and breathing practices.

Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailor a combination of methods that fit the client's needs and lifestyle rather than prescribing a single rigid plan.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy lives and different locations while still engaging in structured therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
