About Kristin

Kristin Scott-Groves brings a client-centered approach to therapy, emphasizing respect for each person's experience while using practical, evidence-based strategies to address stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, trauma, and family dynamics.

Background and approach

As an LCSW practicing in Virginia, she blends compassionate listening with targeted interventions to help people manage mood disorders, panic attacks, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges related to parenting and caregiving. With six years of clinical experience, Kristin incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused techniques to tailor treatment to individual needs.

She works with clients coping with life transitions, adoption and foster care complexities, blended family dynamics, fertility and postpartum concerns, and the specific stresses faced by veterans and those affected by domestic violence. Kristin emphasizes practical skill-building - communication tools, coping strategies, and resilience practices - to support lasting change.

Her practice supports those dealing with eating and sleeping disturbances, anger and self-esteem struggles, isolation, and other common mental health challenges. Kristin helps clients identify goals and develop collaborative plans that align with their values and daily realities, offering flexible formats for care to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches Online



Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is often applied to anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties. She also employs Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past trauma, offering strategies to process distressing experiences and reduce their impact on daily life. Both approaches emphasize practical skills and measurable steps toward improved functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kristin works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and she adapts methods as needed so therapy stays relevant and effective. That process often combines listening with active skill-building to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling consistent access to care around work, family, or other obligations. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in everyday contexts while working with a licensed professional.
