About Kristina
Kristina Kerr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps that make everyday life easier.
Kristina uses Existential Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values.
Background and approach
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful, so sessions can include concrete tools for managing emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. Her background includes long experience working with trauma, substance use issues, and mood disorders. Over two decades she has supported people through major life changes, parenting stress, workplace pressure, and struggles with self-esteem and body image.
That experience shapes a straightforward, steady style in sessions. Kristina describes her stance as one of acceptance and respect. She focuses on building trust and an honest working relationship so clients feel heard and understood.
Sessions tend to be a mix of listening, skill-building, and practical problem solving tailored to each person. People who choose her often want a therapist who combines thoughtful reflection with down-to-earth techniques. Therapy can address immediate symptoms like anxiety or sleeplessness while also examining larger questions about purpose, values, and how to move forward after loss or change.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Existential Therapy helps people look at big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, is facing a life transition, or wants to make clearer decisions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on acceptance and building trust; sessions prioritize the person’s experience and foster a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She often blends methods so sessions can include reflection about meaning alongside concrete skills for coping and emotion regulation.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls are closest to an in-person conversation and let the therapist and client see each other. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, real-time support between sessions, and flexible communication during the week. These options provide convenience and continuity while working on goals together.
