About Kristen

Kristen Hagin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner who focuses on helping people who are juggling stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, and major life changes. She offers straightforward support and practical skills people can use between sessions. Kristen writes and speaks plainly so parents can find what helps quickly and clearly.

She earned a master’s degree from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska, and holds licenses in Washington and Nebraska.

Background and approach

Over 17 years she has worked in community behavioral health, youth-focused services, and primary care settings. That variety shaped a flexible, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Kristen uses client-centered methods to make sessions feel personal and respectful.

She draws on motivational interviewing to help people set and reach goals, and uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Mindfulness practices are offered for stress and emotional regulation. Sessions can focus on building coping skills for anxiety, managing mood shifts like bipolar symptoms, addressing addictive behaviors, or improving self-esteem and relationship patterns.

She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Kristen aims to collaborate with each person to design a plan that fits their life. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match busy schedules.

Her style is practical, respectful, and goal-focused to help people make steady progress.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Kristen commonly uses client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing in sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and values, with the therapist offering empathy and acceptance. Motivational interviewing focuses on clarifying goals and resolving mixed feelings so people can make practical changes.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques when patterns of thought and behavior get in the way. CBT methods help identify unhelpful thinking and teach skills to change behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way so the person and therapist decide together what to try first.

Online sessions let people fit work into busy days. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. The variety of formats makes it easier to get consistent support around work, school, or parenting schedules.
