About Kristen
Kristen Meintzer, LPC, offers straightforward, compassionate help for people juggling stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She keeps sessions practical and respectful, aiming to help clients make steady progress toward goals. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental and she focuses on each person's strengths and values.
Kristen has 13 years of experience working in outpatient treatment, college counseling, and residential substance abuse settings. That range means she has seen many different life situations and common patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
She uses what fits each person rather than a single rigid method. Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing strategies to help people notice what matters and build practical habits.
In sessions she helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practice skills between visits. Parents reading about ADHD will find that Kristen includes attention and organization concerns among the issues she addresses. She also works with people facing relationship strain, career stress, addictions, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and social anxiety.
Sessions are offered in English from Georgia and can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time. Kristen emphasizes collaboration, helping each person create a plan that fits their life and goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Kristen uses client-centered therapy to put the person's goals and values at the center of each session. This means she listens for what matters most and adapts conversations and exercises to match a client's pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Kristen will talk with each person about goals, habits, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest methods to try. She encourages collaboration and adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or during a short break at work, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging helps people follow up and practice skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life and keep momentum toward daily goals.
