Her listed credentials are LICSW and LCSW-C, and she practices in Maryland. She has five years of clinical experience as documented in her profile. If you want straightforward support for parenting stress, grief around adoption or foster care, caregiver strain, or building self-love, she offers a calm, practical way to work toward those goals.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence emotions and behavior. Online work using attachment ideas often focuses on patterns in caregiving and ways to strengthen connections and trust. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of each session. In an online setting this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people find their own solutions for parenting stress or personal growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which methods make the most sense. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from quieter locations. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep momentum between sessions and work on attachment patterns, coping skills, and trauma processing in ways that fit everyday schedules.
