About Kristen
Kristen Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with six years of professional practice. She brings a calm, practical approach when people reach out about stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, or ADHD. Kristen writes plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.
Before independent practice she spent over nine years as a K-12 school counselor, which shaped her focus on clear strategies and short-term goals.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused techniques to help people develop tools they can use day to day. Sessions often include skill-building, practical problem solving, and straightforward guidance. Kristen also draws on work with groups and children, including positive behavioral interventions and elements of play when helpful.
She has led mindfulness and grief groups and offers psychoeducation to make challenging topics easier to understand. Her background includes supporting people who have faced self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and she tailors her approach to each persons needs. Her style is respectful and compassionate, with an emphasis on helping people move toward clearer thinking and better self-care.
She addresses communication problems, family concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, panic, and building self-love alongside other goals. Kristen collaborates on a plan and adjusts it as progress is made. Practical matters like scheduling and session formats are handled up front so therapy fits life.
People who want straightforward tools, short-term focus, and a kind, direct counselor may find her approach a good match.
How Kristens Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy begins with listening. The therapist focuses on what matters most to the person and follows their lead, helping them name goals and priorities in plain terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to create momentum and clearer coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. She adapts methods as progress is made so sessions align with the clients needs and pace in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share quick updates, or use a shorter format that fits a busy day. These options help therapy fit into work, school, and family life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
