About Kristen
Kristen Taylor is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical ways to make daily life feel more manageable. She emphasizes a person-centered approach that centers the client's goals, strengths, and values. Kristen writes plainly and aims to help people take steps toward the future they want, starting now.
She blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to help with stress, anxiety, and depression. Sessions often involve identifying small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Kristen has five years of clinical experience working with adults facing grief, life changes, and parenting challenges. Her work includes supporting people through divorce and separation, blended family issues, and women's health concerns.
She also helps clients manage chronic pain, illness, and disability when those issues affect daily functioning. In sessions she talks through specific problems, practices coping skills, and refines plans that fit each person’s routine. Kristen balances practical strategies with listening and reflection.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented while remaining grounded in each client's values. Kristen practices in Michigan and offers care in English. She uses a mix of short-term plans and longer goals depending on what the person wants to work on.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist and follows the client's priorities. In online sessions this means conversations center on what matters most to the client and pace is set by their goals and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. CBT online is well suited for stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression because homework and skill practice can be reviewed between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. Those exercises are easy to practice during or after a session and can be checked in on in follow-up messages or calls.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process makes it simpler to find what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone send shorter updates, and messaging supports quick check-ins or homework feedback. These options help make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into a busy life.
