Dr. Good has been with me through thick and thin. As a therapist I've found her to be not just a shoulder to cry on, but also a staunch advocate for my own dignity and welfare in all areas of my life. Dr. Good combines a wonderfully empathetic approach to identifying issues with a incisive eye for family dynamics, allowing her to work hand-in-hand with me to develop effective therapeutic measures that I use every day of my life. She's kind, she's funny, she cares. I give her a 10/10.

More about Kristin
- 24 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
With over twenty years of professional experience, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, who uses Strength and Evidence-based techniques to help people overcome symptoms of anxiety and /or depression. I meet you where you are using a positive Client-centered approach. This means we work on your priorities, in English or Spanish. We establish your goals, learn and practice new skills that you will be able to use throughout your life to meet future challenges, and successfully improve the quality of your life-to your standards. I see problems as opportunities to change and grow. What I enjoy most about my work, is using my training and experience to help people feel listened to, to help them understand their feelings, the feelings of others and to use that greater understanding to develop greater self-compassion and self-appreciation. I enjoy helping people reduce their pain and suffering and begin to feel empowered to go beyond merely surviving and begin to really thrive, realizing their potential to live a fuller, more satisfying and meaningful life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
