About Kristen
Kristen Welton is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and identity after big life changes. She works with adults who are facing grief, self-esteem challenges, trauma, or difficulty with intimacy. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Kristen draws on attachment-based work to help people understand how past connections shape current relationships. She uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are mixed in to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Many people seek Kristen's help during transitions like divorce or midlife shifts. She also supports those coping with chronic illness or ongoing mood struggles, including bipolar disorder and postpartum depression.
Sessions often focus on clearer communication and rebuilding daily routines. Her approach addresses shame, guilt, and isolation with steady, practical steps. She helps people practice new ways of relating and set simple goals they can try between sessions.
Problem-solving and small experiments are common parts of the work. With 12 years in the field, Kristen brings experience and patience to each session. She aims to make therapy feel useful and doable, not overwhelming.
The focus is on helping people feel more capable and connected in their everyday lives.

Online support
Approach-driven online care that fits your routine
Kristen uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships affect current patterns. That approach looks at how you connect with others and helps rebuild safer ways of relating. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor methods to the situation. She encourages trying tools in real life and checking what helps, adjusting the plan together as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or get brief support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and medical schedules.
