About Kristin
Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Kristin also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin problems, body image, and isolation.
Kristin draws on her own lived experience of surviving domestic violence and parental abuse to inform her work. She uses practical tools rather than abstract language. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning coping skills, and building a clearer sense of self. She names harmful family patterns and helps clients recognize their strengths.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She pulls from trauma-focused methods to address difficult memories and current symptoms. Work can include emotion regulation skills, reframing thoughts, and targeted trauma processing.
Kristin describes her practice as secular and does not include religious approaches. She is LGBTQIA+ and gender accepting and identifies as neurodivergent. She aims to be attentive to systems of oppression and how they affect each person she sees.
Per Tennessee licensing rules she practices only with people who physically reside in Tennessee. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and a pace that fits their needs.
How sessions work
How Kristin uses specific approaches in online work
Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her trauma work. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing patterns. EMDR helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge, which can lessen trauma symptoms and intrusive memories.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness skills that help with overwhelming feelings and anger. Together these methods are offered in a way that lets clients practice skills between sessions and track small changes over time. Deciding which mix to use happens collaboratively, based on each person's goals, history, and preferences.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around a work break or sessions that avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so clients keep making steady progress while fitting sessions into everyday routines.
