About Kristin

Kristin Taylor is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Kristin also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Kristin trained with a Bachelor of Science in Education and earned a Master of Social Work in 1994 from the University of New England. She has 36 years of experience overall and has spent many years in private practice within a holistic wellness setting. That history shapes a calm, down-to-earth style in sessions.

Her work is collaborative and flexible. She uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and somatic awareness to address thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses.

Sessions often include breathing or grounding exercises and practical strategies to manage stress and mood. Kristin can add inner child work, breath work, or yoga-informed approaches when that fits a person’s goals. The focus is on small, manageable changes that build steadier coping over time.

How Kristin’s Approaches Can Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following their priorities. It aims to create a space where the client sets the pace and the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thought patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how emotions guide interaction. It helps people identify needs under the emotion and try new ways of connecting or responding in relationship challenges.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before scheduling, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using mindfulness exercises, breath work, and worksheet-style CBT tools in ways that fit into daily routines.
