About Kristin
Kristin Taman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, anger, trauma and abuse, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the first step easier to take.
Kristin uses both directive and non-directive methods to match each person’s needs. That means she can offer clear guidance when it helps and step back to listen when you need to be heard. She pays attention to how automatic negative thoughts show up and works with clients to notice and challenge those thinking patterns.
Her sessions combine practical skill building with conversation. Kristin draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support change. She helps people practice new ways of coping, managing strong emotions, and improving motivation.
Kristin brings five years of professional experience to her practice and holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from Wake Forest University. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings can be shared and discussed honestly.

How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems that involve getting stuck in unhelpful patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses specific exercises to identify automatic negative thoughts and practice new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match goals and preferences. She may try a practical exercise one week and a values-based conversation the next, adapting as progress unfolds.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. It can also let people use approaches like CBT homework, ACT values work, and motivational interviewing tools between meetings to support steady progress.
