Kristin Fahey

Kristin Fahey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports clients dealing with depression and issues tied to LGBT identity. Kristin speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel less daunting for someone considering counseling.

She works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with practical steps that match each client's life and goals. Kristin draws on three decades of experience in the helping professions to guide conversations and plan next steps.

Her approach blends several therapeutic methods to meet different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Client-centered principles guide how she listens and responds in sessions.

Kristin has particular experience with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, body image, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people struggling with addiction, eating or fertility issues, and the emotional fallout of separation or family conflict.

When someone is ready to begin, Kristin helps them map small, doable steps. She encourages realistic goals and checks in on progress regularly. Her aim is to help each person find clearer direction and better daily functioning.

How Kristin’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions tied to life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change how someone feels day to day. It often helps with anxiety and depression symptoms.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels workable in their life. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that don't require travel. Some people find phone conversations easier when less bandwidth is available, while video sessions let the therapist and client read facial cues. Verify current session options when you match and schedule so sessions fit your everyday routine.
