Kristin Hassell

Kristin Hassell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or big life changes. Kristin also supports people wrestling with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, and issues related to trauma or mood differences.

Her approach is practical and direct. Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and develop new coping habits. She also uses Client-Centered therapy ideas to create a calm, respectful space where a person decides the pace and focus.

Sessions tend to focus on real-life goals such as managing strong emotions, reducing substance use, improving communication, or finding clearer direction at work. Kristin works with concerns that include ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and multicultural issues among others. She encourages simple daily skills that make a difference outside of sessions.

Kristin has experience supporting people through loss, traumatic stress, and the fallout of natural or human-caused disasters. She also brings experience with addiction, anger, and mood disorders and pays attention to family of origin patterns that affect day-to-day life.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance and gentle challenge. The aim is to leave each session with something practical to try. To begin, visitors can use the site Start Therapy button to match and schedule a time.

How Kristin’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting trapped by them and then move toward what matters in life. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kristin will work together with each person to choose which methods to try first, and she will adjust plans based on how those tools fit the person’s goals and daily life. That collaborative process is part of early sessions.

Because the profile does not specify session formats, confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, let people check in from work during a break, or avoid travel time. Online sessions support practicing skills between meetings and bringing real situations into discussion. Ask about exact session formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan what will work best for you.
