About Kristin
Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She has more than a decade of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and life changes. Kristin centers empathy and validation in sessions and aims to help clients build safety and a stronger sense of self.
Her approach combines several trauma-informed methods to match each person's needs. Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques as useful tools. She tailors those methods to the pace that feels right for the client.
Kristin draws on lived experience of surviving domestic violence and parental abuse to inform her work with people who have experienced similar harms. She notes a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent people who have been abused, and she helps them notice strengths and change harmful family patterns. Sessions are offered from a secular perspective and are LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming.
She emphasizes listening closely and validating the concerns clients bring to therapy. Kristin helps people reduce trauma symptoms, manage ADHD-related challenges, and address issues such as codependency, attachment wounds, body image, and isolation. Progress is guided by the client's goals rather than a set timeline.
Kristin holds a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling earned in 2013 and has provided individual counseling since 2012. She practices with Tennessee residents who are physically located in Tennessee, in accordance with state licensing rules.
How certain approaches translate to online work
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small experiments to change them. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories by combining focused recall with guided processing; this can reduce the intensity of trauma symptoms for some people. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach grounding, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance in short, practical steps that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and she adjusts pacing so therapy stays manageable.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities when virtual sessions are available. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting.
