About Krista
Krista Asp is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on personal and relationship growth. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strains. Sessions are aimed at making small changes that matter in daily life.
Krista trained at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and has built six years of clinical experience. Her background includes a variety of approaches, from cognitive and behavioral techniques to trauma-focused work.
Background and approach
She has pursued additional professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In sessions she centers the person rather than a list of symptoms. Conversations are direct and supportive, with an emphasis on finding workable steps between meetings.
She helps people clarify values, set goals, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Krista often blends attachment-aware thinking with client-centered skills and cognitive strategies. This mix is used to address issues like low self-esteem, intimacy struggles, caregiving stress, and the emotional fallout of illness or loss.
She also offers help for ADHD-related challenges and compassion fatigue. People can expect collaborative planning and practical takeaways each week. The focus is on steady progress, not overnight fixes.
Krista works with individuals and couples facing life changes who want a clear path forward.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people connect today. Online sessions using this approach help clients notice patterns in communication and emotional responses so they can try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific techniques to shift them, which works well in short exercises during video or phone visits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, addresses traumatic memories by using structured processing methods that can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate. Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest a path that blends methods when helpful. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls make it possible to see facial cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and keep momentum with brief updates or skill practice. These formats give flexibility and let therapy fit into work, caregiving obligations, and other daily routines.Questions people ask
