About Kristin

Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who offers compassionate, trauma-informed care informed by 12 years of clinical experience. She draws on her own history of surviving domestic violence and parental abuse to inform a respectful, empathetic approach that centers each person's lived experience.

Background and approach

Kristin emphasizes validation and active listening while attending to how systems and social forces shape individual struggles. Her practice blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to tailor treatment to each client's needs.

Kristin often helps people process trauma symptoms, identify unhelpful family patterns, and strengthen a sense of self and inner safety. She works from a secular perspective and affirms LGBTQIA+ identities, describing herself as a member of that community and as a neurodivergent practitioner.

Kristin provides individual counseling only to clients who physically reside in Tennessee. She frames therapy as a collaborative, paced process that honors personal timing for healing and draws on an eclectic mix of evidence-informed methods to support recovery and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to trauma recovery

Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address distressing memories and trauma symptoms, using structured protocols aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic recollections. When emotional regulation is a priority, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices are used to build coping skills and present-moment awareness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then combines techniques from these methods to create a treatment plan that fits the client's pace and priorities. She emphasizes listening and validation while helping clients explore what tools feel most useful in their healing.

Online therapy with Kristin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to receive consistent, ongoing support from a licensed professional in Tennessee without traveling to an office, and they allow therapy to adapt to changing needs over time.
