About Kristin
Kristin Scott-Groves is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on practical, approachable care. She uses clear methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and trauma. Kristin works from Virginia and speaks English.
She keeps sessions focused and down-to-earth. Kristin listens first, then helps clients set small, manageable goals. She teaches simple tools for panic, low mood, sleep trouble, and anger so daily life feels easier.
Background and approach
Much of her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered methods to make sure each person’s goals shape the work. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas help when motivation and short-term planning are needed.
Kristin has six years of clinical experience and holds LCSW licensure in Colorado and Florida as well as practice authorization in Virginia. That experience includes supporting people after trauma, those facing postpartum or mood disorders, and folks dealing with caregiver stress or adoption and foster care issues.
Sessions cover a wide range of concerns - from parenting and family stress to intimacy-related issues, grief, ADHD, and sleep or eating difficulties. Kristin helps people identify what matters most, practice new skills, and track progress over time. Getting started is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your routine.
Kristin offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online
Kristin blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy into online work to address thoughts, reactions, and the long-term effects of stress and trauma. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process traumatic memories and relearn safety and regulation skills so daily life becomes more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kristin will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels doable. Together they choose methods and pace that fit the client’s needs and preferences so the work feels collaborative and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide more flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction and real-time skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework support, or short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistency and adapt therapy to a family’s schedule or work commitments.
