About Kristen
Kristen Hagin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings 17 years of experience to sessions. She works with adults on issues like anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. Kristen aims to create an easygoing space where people can talk through problems and learn practical skills.
Kristen holds a master's degree from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska, and holds licensure in Washington (LMHC) and Nebraska (LIMHP).
Background and approach
Her background includes community behavioral health, youth-focused services, and work in a primary care setting. That range gives her familiarity with different life circumstances and systems of care. She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to meet people where they are.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach coping strategies, manage mood, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and focus. Sessions may combine focused skill work and space to process emotions.
Kristen can help people develop routines, communication skills, and relapse prevention plans when needed. She also offers a listening space for those who need emotional support without structured skills training. Her online practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Kristen tailors scheduling and session format to each person's needs so therapy fits into daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and to explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristen works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person's goals and daily life. Sessions may mix approaches and adjust over time based on what helps most, with the client guiding priorities and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can provide shorter check-ins, written skill reminders, and flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy life.
