About Kristin

Kristin Taman is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who integrates practical therapies to address stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. With five years of professional experience, she draws on cognitive and acceptance-based methods to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills for greater emotional balance.

Background and approach

Kristin emphasizes collaborative work that honors each person’s pace and priorities. Her practice focuses on a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family challenges, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Kristin blends directive techniques when structure is needed with non-directive, client-centered support to create a respectful space for exploration. She guides clients through noticing automatic negative thoughts and practicing new responses so they can move toward a stronger sense of wellbeing.

Kristin encourages those beginning therapy to recognize the courage in taking this step and aims to make the process approachable. Her work combines clinical knowledge with practical strategies to help clients set goals, build resilience, and find clarity amid difficult emotions.

Approach-Focused Online Care with Flexible Access

Kristin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which emphasizes identifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings are present. This approach helps clients clarify what matters most and build skills to live in line with those values. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize and change automatic negative thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers practical techniques for testing assumptions and developing healthier coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kristin works with clients to determine which methods best match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than applying a single method across the board.

Online therapy provides practical benefits through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions for convenience, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options increase scheduling flexibility and make it easier to integrate therapeutic work into daily life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
