About Kristin

Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Kristin also supports people dealing with relationship and parenting concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.

Kristin earned a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling in 2013 and has provided individual counseling since 2012. She brings personal experience of surviving domestic violence and parental abuse into her work, and this informs how she listens and responds. Kristin describes her approach as secular and affirming; she identifies as LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent and welcomes clients from varied backgrounds.

In sessions she combines practical skills and trauma-focused methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to spot patterns of thought and behavior. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of her practice.

Kristin emphasizes attuning to each person's pace rather than rushing healing. She helps clients notice harmful family patterns, reduce trauma symptoms, and build a clearer sense of self. She often focuses on supporting neurodivergent people who have experienced abuse and want to develop inner safety.

State rules limit her practice to residents physically located in Tennessee. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and any logistical questions about working together.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Kristin incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time based on what is most helpful and what the client prefers.

State rules mean her practice is limited to people physically located in Tennessee, so confirm session options before booking. The platform uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Please check the available session formats when you begin so you know whether video, phone, or other options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen from more convenient locations.
