About Kristin
Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She works with individuals who are processing parenting strain, relationship struggles, anger, compassion fatigue, attention difficulties, and big life changes. Kristin writes plainly and meets people where they are without a religious framework.
She brings over a decade of counseling experience to each session, beginning work in 2012 and continuing since.
Background and approach
Her background includes surviving domestic violence and parental abuse, and that personal history shapes how she listens and responds. Kristin identifies as LGBTQIA+ and gender accepting, and she also describes herself as neurodivergent. In sessions she uses a blend of approaches to fit each person's needs.
Conversations focus on practical skills, emotion regulation, recognizing family patterns, and building inner strengths. She emphasizes a paced process so healing does not feel rushed. Kristin practices in Tennessee and works with people who are physically located in that state.
She offers a secular counseling perspective and aims to be attentive to how broader systems and oppression affect an individual’s life. Her work often centers on trauma recovery, helping people reduce trauma symptoms and create a sense of safety. She also helps clients address attachment and abandonment wounds, body image concerns, codependency, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions aim to uncover practical steps toward daily coping and longer term goals.
Practical approaches for online trauma and emotion work
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps and useful everyday strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address the emotional impact of traumatic memories and reduce distress linked to those memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. She combines techniques when helpful and adjusts pace so people feel safe and able to progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use verbal and visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skills coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
