About Kristen
Kristen Templin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She greets clients with calm, steady presence and practical help for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She focuses on clear, workable steps rather than jargon.
Sessions center on what the person needs right now, whether that is coping skills for a tough week, support through loss, or tools to manage lingering worry.
Background and approach
Kristen listens closely and helps people set small, achievable goals. Her background includes long experience working with caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and the emotional effects of illness. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, family conflict, infidelity, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.
Kristen uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. Mindfulness practices help with grounding and reducing reactivity, and Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s priorities front and center.
She practices in Pennsylvania and offers sessions in English. People can work with her by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Kristen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often suits problems like anxiety, depression, and low motivation because it focuses on specific skills and steps. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach breath-based grounding and awareness exercises that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then shape sessions around that feedback in a collaborative way. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so techniques fit the person’s life and needs.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people work face to face when that connection helps, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can offer quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
