About Kristen

Kristen Barrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical, steady support for people under stress. She brings five years of experience in mental health settings to each session and aims to make therapy approachable and hopeful for parents and individuals facing life changes.

She uses straightforward tools to help with anxiety, depression, anger, and attention concerns like ADHD. Kristen helps people work through relationship and family tensions and supports those dealing with grief, trauma, or low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also offers help around parenting challenges and blended family issues. Her background includes work in homes, hospitals, personal offices, and running an outpatient day program for severe mental illness. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to what a person needs in the moment.

She has experience with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mild autism and brings that perspective into her approach. In sessions she keeps the tone upbeat and supportive while staying focused on practical steps. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques, plus solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.

Kristen aims to build rapport quickly so people feel comfortable talking about hard topics. People who come to Kristen can expect a collaborative plan. Together they identify goals, try techniques that fit daily life, and check progress over time.

Her work is aimed at helping clients feel more capable, reduce distress, and make meaningful changes in family and parenting situations.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Online support

Online approaches that fit daily life

Kristen frequently uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying different actions to change how you feel, which helps with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which many people use for stress, anger, and parenting moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, routines, and comfort level. Sessions begin with listening and goal-setting, then try short exercises and practical homework to test what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter reflections, scheduling, and ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily commitments.
