About Kristy
Kristy Zufelt is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with life changes. Kristy speaks English and works with adults who want straightforward, practical help for these concerns.
She uses clear, structured methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses to identify thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) depending on what a person needs.
In sessions she listens to the specific problem and then suggests small, doable steps to try between meetings. That might mean practicing a short skill for anxiety, experimenting with a new communication pattern, or tracking triggers for substance use. The focus is on practical changes that fit daily life.
Kristy values collaboration. She works with each person to set clear goals and measures progress in simple ways. If a strategy isn’t working, she adjusts the plan and tries a different technique.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How her CBT and ACT work in online sessions
Kristy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety. CBT sessions focus on noticing thoughts, testing whether they are accurate, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce distress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then choosing actions that align with personal values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy may be used to help people recognize and respond to strong emotions that affect relationships and choices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristy will discuss your goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. She frames changes as experiments you can test in daily life rather than fixed rules.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
