About Kristen
Kristen Barrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with five years of experience in mental health care. She has worked in settings that include in-home care, hospitals, a private office, and an outpatient day program for people with severe mental illness. Kristen helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, relationship and family conflict, low self-esteem, and related challenges.
Her work focuses on straightforward skill-building and practical steps. She uses clear interventions such as cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and test new habits. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than overly abstract.
Kristen has experience supporting people who face grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also has worked with issues around body image, blended family dynamics, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture. Her background includes experience with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mild autism.
She describes a person-centered approach that pays attention to a client's cultural background and life context. Kristen combines client-centered methods with solution-focused work to set achievable steps, and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and emotional regulation.
People can expect an upbeat, supportive tone and a focus on measurable progress. The first sessions typically clarify immediate goals and outline practical next steps for managing anger, stress, or relationship problems.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It helps clarify goals, build trust, and make sessions feel relevant to everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test new ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which is useful when anger or stress flares.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a client's needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. This is a collaborative process that balances short-term goals with ongoing skill development.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Online appointments can make it simpler to try out different techniques between sessions and to practice skills in real-world situations, helping integrate new habits into daily life.
