About Kristin
Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, ADHD, relationships, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and depression.
She works with people facing life changes and complicated situations. That includes adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fertility concerns. She also supports veterans and people with mood disorders, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Her approach uses practical, evidence-based methods. Kristin draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters to the person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past experiences are still affecting daily life.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find what will actually motivate them to change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, manageable goals and small steps to reach them. Together these methods aim to improve communication, build coping skills, and reduce symptoms that interfere with day-to-day life.
Kristin explains therapies in plain language and helps people choose what makes sense for them. Sessions are aimed at practical strategies you can use between meetings. To begin, prospective clients follow an intake process to match with the clinician and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristin commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her clinical work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can identify what matters most and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to act. Together these approaches are used collaboratively - the therapist and client decide which methods fit the person's goals and preferences rather than using one fixed path.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online session options before booking. The focus remains on skill building, communication practice, and step-by-step strategies that can be applied between meetings to manage stress, anger, and other concerns.
