About Kristin

Kristin Hassell is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and ADHD among other life challenges.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed techniques to support clients facing mood disorders, intimacy and parenting issues, career and life-purpose questions, and struggles with self-worth or isolation. Kristin emphasizes practical skill building while honoring each person's values and goals.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance-based practices, and mindfulness-informed methods alongside client-centered principles and motivational techniques. This eclectic foundation allows her to tailor interventions to what a client needs most, whether working through coping with loss, addressing substance use, navigating multicultural or LGBT-related concerns, or managing overwhelming emotions.

Kristin aims to create a relaxed, supportive environment where clients can explore change, build resilience, and pursue clearer direction in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another frequent component, inviting clients to clarify personal values and practice psychological flexibility rather than getting stuck in avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan that balances skills practice, mindfulness, and values-driven action.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options support consistent engagement for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local resources, allowing work on coping skills, relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and life transitions from wherever clients are located.
