About Kristen

Kristen Dewberry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She began her career as a certified and licensed recreational therapist, and that background informs a creative, expressive approach to supporting people through life transitions and ongoing challenges.

Background and approach

Kristen brings a warm, genuine presence to sessions and often uses light humor alongside practical strategies to help clients make meaningful changes. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting, career concerns, ADHD, relationships, anger, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue.

Additional interests include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, postpartum concerns, workplace issues, and other life-stage matters. Kristen practices in North Carolina and offers care in English.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which she partners with clients to explore goals and tailor interventions to fit individual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Change and Clarity Online

Kristen frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to build insight and self-directed growth. This approach supports people coping with identity, relationship, and life-purpose concerns by creating a respectful space to explore values and goals.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, using practical tools and skill-building for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions at times to foster present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can assist with emotion regulation and focus challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristen works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients try approaches, evaluate what is helpful, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access support from different locations within North Carolina. These formats allow ongoing collaboration and timely skill practice between sessions while accommodating varying communication styles and day-to-day demands.
