About Kristen
Kristen Wright is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience supporting adults through difficult emotional times. She works with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and low self-esteem. Kristen focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person actually needs.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She creates a space where clients can talk through past hurts and current stressors without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Kristen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and actions. She helps people test new ways of coping and build small routines that improve daily life.
Many people seek her help for relationship strains, abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, body image struggles, feelings of emptiness, and life-purpose questions.
Kristen does not complete disability paperwork. If you want to work with her, start by answering a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session based on available times.
How her approaches guide online work
Kristen uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape her work with clients. Client-Centered Therapy means she follows the client’s pace and priorities, listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides straightforward tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may combine listening-focused sessions with skill-building work as those needs evolve. Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling, reduced travel time, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Because specific session formats were not listed in her biography, confirm current session options before booking to learn how she conducts sessions and which formats are available. Online work can make it simpler to check in during life transitions and maintain consistent progress without large disruptions to the day.Areas of expertise
