Kristin Money, LPC

Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She meets people where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable. Kristin emphasizes listening and validation while helping clients notice strengths and small changes.

Kristin brings 12 years of counseling experience and practices from Tennessee. Her background includes surviving domestic violence and parental abuse, which shapes her understanding of trauma and safety. She also identifies as LGBTQIA+ and as neurodivergent, and she provides secular care without religious influence.

In sessions Kristin uses practical, skills-based methods to help people reduce symptoms and handle day-to-day problems. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside trauma-focused methods to tailor work to each person. She aims to help clients recognize harmful family patterns and develop healthier ways of coping.

Kristin pays close attention to how systems and social inequalities affect individuals and communities. She focuses on helping people regain a sense of self, manage overwhelming feelings, and build calmer routines. Her style is empathetic, direct, and paced according to each person’s needs.

Clients who want to address parenting stress, relationship difficulties, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, or identity-related concerns may find practical tools in her work. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online care

Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR is used for processing traumatic memories through guided attention and can help lower distress from past events.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, teaching concrete strategies to handle intense feelings and improve communication. Kristin emphasizes a collaborative process - she will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit their needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and EMDR sessions when appropriate. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, while live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular momentum between sessions.
