About Kirstin
Kirstin Davis is an LMSW therapist based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and family concerns. She is direct and approachable and listens to each person’s story before suggesting next steps. Kirstin emphasizes practical progress and works alongside clients to set realistic goals.
She brings about 12 years of experience including work with adults and adolescents in neuropsychology and time supporting people with traumatic brain injuries. That background informs her attention to thinking patterns, mood, and daily functioning. She uses methods that focus on current problems and clear steps forward.
Kirstin’s style is client-centered. She aims to meet people where they are and avoids judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and identifying small, achievable changes to move forward.
In sessions she often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed tools when those fit a person’s needs. Expect a practical, goal-minded approach rather than abstract theory.
She prefers voice sessions rather than ongoing video work and will use video in some cases, often at first. Because she travels frequently, Kirstin asks that prospective clients are comfortable with voice-focused sessions before choosing her. She speaks English and practices in Michigan.
How Kirstin’s Approaches Translate Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space to hear concerns and then collaborates on goals that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit shifts. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify someone’s reasons for change and builds momentum toward concrete steps without pressure.Choosing the right approach is a team process. The therapist will discuss what is most helpful based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance lets people test what works without committing to a single path up front.
Practical benefits of online work can include fewer barriers to fitting sessions into a busy life, easier check-ins during a lunch break, and reduced need to travel to an office. This therapist prefers voice sessions over ongoing video and will use video in some cases, often for initial meetings, so please confirm current session options before booking. The focus remains on finding steady, manageable steps that fit a person’s everyday routine.
