About Kristen
Kristen Wright is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Her practice emphasizes steady support and practical steps to help people feel more capable in daily life.
She keeps sessions collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgmental space to talk through what feels most urgent. Kristen listens for personal strengths and helps turn them into small, usable steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes long-term work with attachment and abandonment issues, plus experience supporting people dealing with body image, codependency, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Kristen uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the client's experience central to each session. She pairs that with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when goals call for behavior change or clearer thinking patterns. Together these approaches help with mood, anxiety, and relationship habits.

How Kristen's Approaches Shape Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the client's experience central to each session. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance and supporting people as they find their own solutions, which can help with relationship strain, low self-worth and recovery from past hurt.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behavior. It uses concrete exercises and experiments to change habits that feed anxiety or depression and can be helpful when someone wants step-by-step strategies to feel better.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Kristen will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the balance between reflective listening and practical exercises.
