About Kristen

Kristen Hagin is a licensed mental health professional who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship concerns, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, she brings a practical, person-centered attitude and an emphasis on developing skills that support resilience and healthier patterns. Kristen holds a master’s degree and maintains licensure as an LMHC in Washington and an LIMHP in Nebraska.

Her practice blends motivational interviewing with client-centered care and evidence-based techniques drawn from CBT and DBT to tailor a plan that matches each person’s needs and goals.

She has worked in community behavioral health, youth-focused services, and primary care settings, which informs a flexible approach to support, whether someone needs skills training, trauma processing, coping strategies, or simply an empathetic listener.

Kristen offers a mix of live and text-based formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she aims to collaborate with clients to find sustainable ways to build emotional wellbeing and stronger relationships.

Approach-driven online care using practical therapeutic methods

Kristen frequently draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s unique experience so goals and pacing come from the client. This approach is helpful for people seeking a collaborative, empathetic space to explore emotions and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety or depressive thinking. CBT offers structured tools that can be practiced between sessions to support day-to-day change.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Kristen will work with clients to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed so that the therapy plan reflects personal needs, preferences, and progress rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between meetings, and connect from locations within her service area. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver skill-building, therapeutic reflection, and ongoing support in ways that fit an individual's life and schedule.
