About Kristen
Kristen Corkum is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She also focuses on attachment issues, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Kristen practices in English and does not accept international clients.
Kristen combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered methods. She uses concrete strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing emotions and stepping through difficult situations one small change at a time.
Her background includes a master’s degree focused on mental health counseling and behavioral medicine. Over more than a decade she has worked in treatment settings with adolescents, young adults, groups, and individuals. That experience informs an approach that pays attention to how life events shape beliefs about self and relationships.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then tries straightforward alternatives. That can include skill practice, behavior experiments, and short-term goal work. She also addresses the effects of trauma with trauma-focused techniques when appropriate.
Practical matters are part of the work. Kristen helps people develop clearer choices, stronger coping strategies, and ways to reconnect when isolation or attachment concerns are present. To begin, clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How CBT, attachment work, and client-centered care fit online
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT sessions often include practice tasks and short experiments that can be reviewed between meetings to track progress.She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape expectations and reactions. That approach focuses on noticing relational patterns and developing different ways to connect and respond. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on the person’s goals and choices, with the therapist following the client’s lead on what matters most.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristen will work with clients to choose which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means methods can shift as progress is made or new issues appear.
