Krista Asp, LPC

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with six years of experience. She works with people who want clearer relationships and better day-to-day coping. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and codependency among other challenges.

Krista uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. These approaches are woven together with trauma-focused tools when past events are getting in the way of present life.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Krista says she keeps an attitude of unconditional positive regard while helping clients identify concrete next steps. That might mean learning new ways to set boundaries, shifting thinking that fuels people-pleasing, or practicing skills for managing anxiety and stress reactions.

Her post-graduate work included mindfulness-based stress reduction and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which she integrates as appropriate. She works with individuals and couples on life transitions, relationship difficulties, and emotional recovery from distressing experiences.

People looking for help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, aging concerns, body image, or intimacy-related issues will find these topics in her stated focus areas. Language of sessions is English and practice is based in Tennessee.
