About Kristin

Dr. Kristin Good is a California psychologist with 24 years of experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and addictions.

Background and approach

She also works with matters such as parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, career transitions, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress. Fluent in English and Spanish, she brings a broad clinical focus that includes attachment issues, family-of-origin problems, communication and control issues, and gender dysphoria.

Her practice emphasizes a client-centered stance that begins by meeting each person where they are and identifying priorities together. Drawing on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Jungian approaches, she helps clients learn practical skills, process painful experiences, and build emotional insight.

Dr. Good describes therapy as a collaborative process aimed at reducing suffering, strengthening self-compassion, and supporting people to move from merely surviving to living more satisfying, meaningful lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Dr. Good often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her work. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday coping skills. EMDR is used to help process distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms through structured recall and guided processing, which can reduce the intensity of painful recollections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will listen to the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs while remaining open to adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance supports client autonomy and tailored care.

Online therapy with Dr. Good offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access ongoing support around work and life commitments, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver evidence-informed interventions in ways that suit individual routines and learning styles.
