About Kristen

Kristen Hamm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who integrates practical, evidence-informed strategies into collaborative care.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused and client-centered techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around parenting and self-esteem. Kristen emphasizes a respectful, compassionate stance and tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances.

She aims to help clients increase self-understanding, regulate thoughts and emotions, and strengthen relationships and day-to-day functioning. Areas of additional focus include issues such as codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and women's concerns.

Kristen frames change as a process that begins with courage and supports clients in building coping skills, restoring balance, and pursuing a more fulfilling life. Outside of her professional role, Kristen’s life experience as a long-term partner and parent informed her decision to pursue counseling, and she brings that perspective to her work in a grounded, empathetic way.

Approaches and options for online therapy

Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values, build psychological flexibility, and take committed action toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is working, adjust techniques when needed, and blend elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow clients to engage in therapy in a way that fits their daily life.
