Kristina Kerr, LPC

Kristina Kerr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction-related problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and mood. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at creating a steady space where people can talk about what matters to them.

She draws on client-centered principles that put the person’s perspective first. That means Kristina starts by listening and building trust, then she works alongside each person to set goals and try practical steps. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she includes mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to support emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.

Kristina has worked with people facing trauma, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and issues related to intimacy and infidelity. She also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems, and substance use concerns. Her background includes long-term clinical work with a wide range of symptoms and life transitions.

Clients can expect a conversational, goal-focused process that mixes skills practice with gentle reflection. She tailors methods to each person and adjusts the plan as needs shift. Kristina emphasizes practical coping strategies along with attention to underlying patterns that keep problems recurring.

Her training and two decades of experience inform a flexible, person-centered style. She helps people break cycles, manage difficult feelings, and move toward clearer choices in relationships and daily life.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the person says, helps name feelings, and works jointly to set goals so sessions feel relevant and respectful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, mood problems, stress, and many day-to-day struggles by breaking tasks into manageable steps and practicing new habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those strategies often help when feelings swing widely or when people feel stuck in reactive patterns.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as things change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people keep continuity through life transitions. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be held.
