About Kristen
Kristen Hamm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem and depression. Kristen focuses on practical skills clients can use between sessions to manage emotions and daily pressures.
She uses straightforward conversation and structured techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small habits. Kristen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thought and behavior work, and also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused and Client-Centered approaches when they fit the problem.
In sessions she helps clients set clear, achievable goals and practices steps toward those goals. She talks through situations, identifies patterns that get in the way, and tries alternate ways of responding. Homework and brief skill practices are often part of the plan to reinforce change between meetings.
Kristen also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions. She supports people working through midlife shifts, post-traumatic stress reactions, social anxiety, and women-specific concerns.
Her style is practical and focused on skills. Kristen encourages people to learn about their reactions and to try specific techniques that fit their daily life. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How CBT and ACT translate to online sessions
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in everyday situations. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses to reduce distress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences and committing to meaningful steps regardless of uncomfortable emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
