About Kristin
Kristin Fahey is a Georgia licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and depression. She focuses on clear, practical help rather than long talks that go nowhere.
Kristin uses straightforward methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She helps people try new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Sessions emphasize concrete steps and small experiments to test what works in daily life.
Her background includes long experience across common life strains such as caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, and family of origin problems. She also addresses topics like body image, addiction, eating and food-related issues, and fertility concerns. Kristin combines different approaches to match a person’s presenting problem and goals.
In practice she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and actions that keep problems stuck. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to clarify values and strengthen practical coping. Motivational Interviewing and Imago relationship ideas inform work around motivation and communication.
Kristin aims to keep sessions focused and useful. She invites people to set small, measurable goals and notices what changes between sessions. The emphasis is on learning skills that can be used outside the session to reduce distress and improve relationships.
How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work
Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit focused online work. CBT helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior and translates into short exercises and practice tasks you can do between sessions. ACT focuses on values and acceptance, pairing those discussions with small, values-based steps to try in daily life.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions person-focused and to slow down when a clearer understanding is needed. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and adjust methods together over the first few meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Kristin frames online work around practical exercises, communication practice, and homework that fit into everyday routines rather than lengthy, unfocused conversations.
