About Kristen
Kristen Corkum, LPCC, uses a people-centered approach that focuses on connection and practical change. She helps clients who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, or depression. Her style aims to boost voice, choice, and personal agency so people feel more in control of their lives.
Kristen draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work and attachment-based ideas to notice patterns of thought and relationship habits. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what’s getting in the way now and what small steps can make a real difference. With 13 years of professional experience in treatment services, she has worked across individual and group settings. Her background includes training at the Boston University School of Medicine with emphasis on mental health counseling and behavioral medicine.
Kristen has particular experience helping people cope with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and mood challenges. In the room she emphasizes trust, collaboration, and practical skill-building. She helps people talk through painful experiences and to try new ways of responding to stress and anger.
Kristen supports clients as they experiment with different strategies and notice what works in daily life. People who are looking for focused, down-to-earth help with worry, loss, or emotional reactivity may find her approach useful. She aims to meet each person where they are and to work together toward clearer goals and better coping.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how they relate to others and try different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual sessions CBT is used to track patterns, practice new responses, and set small behavior experiments to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether attachment ideas, CBT techniques, or other methods best fit the situation and adjust the plan over time based on results and feedback.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, interactive work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing brief support and for working through steps between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
