About Kristin
Kristin Fahey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, and depression. Kristin focuses on practical steps people can use when relationships or emotional patterns feel overwhelming.
Her sessions start with listening to what matters most to each person. She encourages straightforward talk about how daily life is affected by emotional strain, repeated people-pleasing, or living with someone else's substance use or moods. Kristin works with clients to identify small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.
Kristin draws on several familiar methods to guide conversations and choices. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and encourage action. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Client-Centered Therapy informs her emphasis on letting the person lead the pace and focus of work.
Her approach is down-to-earth and task-oriented. Sessions often include goal setting, practical exercises, and discussion of communication and boundary strategies. Kristin helps people test new ways of asking for what they need and saying no without rehearsed language.
People looking for support around codependency patterns, caregiving stress, body image, addiction concerns, or family-of-origin issues may find the focus helpful. She practices in Georgia and works in English.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Kristin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing uncomfortable thoughts and choosing actions that match personal priorities rather than getting stuck in avoidance.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT helps people test beliefs, try alternative ways of thinking, and practice behavioral changes that reduce stress and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin treats the selection of methods as collaborative and will help figure out which mix of ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques fits a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts strategies as progress or difficulties emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Discuss format and timing when scheduling so sessions align with everyday routines and practical needs.
