About Kristy
Kristy Zufelt is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who draws on practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and anger. She speaks plainly and focuses on building skills people can use between sessions. Kristy frames clients as the experts in their own stories and helps them apply their strengths to real problems.
With 14 years of experience in Utah, she has worked with many people facing life changes and emotional pain.
Background and approach
Kristy uses approaches that emphasize action and emotion - helping clients notice what matters to them and take steps toward it. Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded while still making room for feelings. She often addresses related concerns such as panic attacks, mood difficulties, communication problems, and issues tied to attachment or abandonment.
Kristy also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol struggles, impulsivity, and the guilt or shame that can follow trauma or relationship endings. Her typical sessions mix practical exercises and talk therapy. Clients learn tools from cognitive-behavioral strategies and practice new ways to respond to strong emotions.
Kristy also uses emotion-focused work to help people better understand painful patterns and move toward healthier connections. If someone is nervous about beginning therapy, she acknowledges that first step is hard and affirms their courage. The initial visits focus on understanding immediate needs and building a simple plan for change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings appear. It emphasizes practical moves and present-moment awareness rather than trying to eliminate emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms through hands-on practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings shape the way people connect and respond; it helps clarify emotional patterns and build different, healthier responses in relationships and personal life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as progress is made, keeping the client involved in each choice.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection, and a mix of formats can make therapy easier to fit into work or family time. These options make it easier to attend regularly and build new skills over time.
