About Krista
Krista McClinton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone who is unsure where to begin.
Krista believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room. She listens to what matters to the client and works from those strengths to build momentum.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, useful steps people can try between meetings while noticing what helps and what does not. She uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral ideas, plus mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. That mix is used to address mood and motivation, relationship concerns, and worries like social anxiety or workplace stress.
Krista also supports people navigating major life changes, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Her practice includes attention to communication problems, divorce and separation issues, infidelity and jealousy, and questions about life purpose.
Krista offers a calm space to talk through guilt, shame, or self-harm thoughts and to work on building self-love and better daily coping skills. Sessions are conducted in English and Krista works with international clients. She aims to make beginning therapy simple and respectful, helping people find realistic ways to feel steadier and more capable over time.
How therapy approaches and online sessions work together
Krista commonly uses client-centered practices that focus on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps clients clarify priorities, feel heard, and direct the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Krista collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t, so the plan changes as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter problem-solving conversations, or when regular written reflection helps the client process material. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
