About Kristen
Kristen Paeth is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on eight years of clinical practice to create a supportive space where clients can explore challenges like grief, trauma, addiction, relationship friction, and career or parenting struggles. Kristen frames growth as a collaborative effort and aims to meet individuals where they are in their journey.
Her approach blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing. Kristen’s training and hands-on experience in social work inform a pragmatic, strengths-based style that emphasizes rapport, active listening, and concrete steps toward goals.
Based in Wisconsin, she holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and offers flexible scheduling that can include evenings and weekends to accommodate varied needs.
Approaches for online care and practical support
The practice integrates client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client's experience and goals by creating a nonjudgmental, collaborative environment where the therapist listens closely and helps clients clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop specific strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress. Mindfulness therapy adds skills for present-moment awareness and emotion regulation, offering techniques that reduce reactivity and support coping with ongoing challenges.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to assess needs, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what’s working and what isn’t, so the care plan evolves with the client’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow consistent check-ins between in-person commitments, and support ongoing work when life or logistics make office visits difficult. Licensed professionals provide structured, goal-oriented care in ways that can be adapted to each client’s routine and comfort level.
