About Kristen

Kristen Burroughs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with six years of professional counseling experience and a longer background as a K-12 school counselor.

Background and approach

She draws on that combined experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to ADHD. Kristen emphasizes practical strategies that can be applied in daily life alongside supportive therapeutic listening.

Her work often blends solution-focused methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to create concise, goal-oriented sessions while also making room for empathy and collaboration. She incorporates elements drawn from positive behavioral interventions and play-informed approaches when appropriate, and she has training in trauma-informed interventions.

Kristen has facilitated mindfulness and grief groups and offers psychoeducation to help clients build skills, increase self-compassion, and manage impulsivity, panic symptoms, and feelings of guilt or shame. Kristen aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs, meeting clients with respect and sensitivity.

She presents therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients taking the initial step toward greater well-being and self-love.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits

Kristen integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore values, coping, and self-compassion. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, panic, or low self-esteem and teaches specific skills to reshape those patterns and reduce distress.

She often blends these methods with solution-focused techniques aimed at setting clear, achievable goals and tracking small changes over time. Determining the best approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each client and adapt methods together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills in daily contexts, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured CBT exercises, solution-focused planning, and client-centered support in ways that fit a client's life.
