About Krista

Krista Asp is a licensed professional counselor with a six-year clinical background who draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients clarify goals and make practical changes. She combines CBT with attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered care, offering a blend of structured skills work and empathic, collaborative support.

Background and approach

Her training emphasized cognitive and behavioral techniques alongside trauma-focused interventions, which informs an approach attuned to both symptom relief and relational repair.

She works with individuals and couples across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and family challenges, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family and divorce issues, and communication or commitment difficulties.

Krista aims to meet clients where they are, helping them rediscover strengths and pursue balanced mental health in daily life and relationships. Krista holds an LPC and maintains licensure in Colorado and Tennessee, bringing post-graduate professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and EMDR into her practice.

She invites clients to engage in a collaborative therapeutic process geared toward practical progress and deeper self-understanding.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Krista integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences influence current ways of relating, which is useful for healing intimacy issues, communication problems, and relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then blends methods that fit the individual or couple rather than using a single rigid model. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to what feels most helpful for each person’s situation.

Online therapy with Krista is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, schedule around work or caregiving commitments, and choose the communication style that best supports their progress while maintaining continuity of care.
