About Kristen
Kristen Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep challenges, parenting struggles, self-esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
With a practice informed by work across inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, community agencies, residential drug and alcohol centers, and personal settings, she brings practical experience helping clients navigate complex mental health and life challenges. Her style is collaborative and client-centered, emphasizing partnership in identifying goals and adjusting strategies as life circumstances change.
Kristen integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. She has 12 years of experience working across the mental health spectrum, including mood disorders, personality concerns, co-occurring conditions, and psychosocial stressors.
Kristen welcomes people who are ready to explore change and develop workable tools for daily living. She aims to be an ally through the process, offering flexible scheduling and a supportive therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and practical problem solving.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Kristen uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in ways that fit well with remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills and experiments to change reactions and behavior, which can be practiced and reviewed during video or phone sessions. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, and these exercises can be guided in real time or reinforced through text and chat between meetings.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore what methods feel most useful and adapts techniques to match each person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than prescribing a single path from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access support from home or while managing busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different therapeutic tools between meetings, and fit therapy into everyday life without extensive travel.
