To whom it may concern, Kristina Kerr is equipped to provide the services and tools patient/clients require for proper talk therapy. Yes, proper. Unlike some talk therpists , Kristina has chosen to be an acutely accurate counselor rather than a woke bulkshit artist.

More about Kristina

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi, my name is Kristina Kerr. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from Butler University and my Master's in Counseling from Trevecca University. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor in TN and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in KY. I am also a Masters Addictions Counselor and a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional so I am very comfortable working with clients who have issues related to addiction and trauma or both. I have worked in the mental health field with a wide variety of clients and populations for the past 20 years. I enjoy providing individual counseling to people dealing with a wide variety of diagnoses from the DSM-5 such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Substance Use Disorders, etc. as well as issues particular to the individual such as low self esteem, anger management, stress management/reduction, relationship issues, parenting struggles, and other issues that may come up during the therapeutic process.

I view all my clients through the lens of the person centered concept of unconditional positive regard. This means I show unconditional positive acceptance and regard towards all my clients in the therapeutic process. I strive to provide a safe space for the individual to work through the issues they may be struggling with or symptoms they would like to get a better handle on related to a DSM diagnosis without judgement or fear of condemnation. I like to establish a therapeutic rapport by meeting the client wherever they are at and building a mutual relationship based on trust, openness, and respect.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic evidence based concepts such as CBT, DBT (which I am certified in), Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and general coping skills to address specific symptoms or issues that you may be struggling with. I use whatever concept(s) the client is comfortable with or feels works best for them. This includes incorporating different principles or concepts from the evidence based techniques listed above to fit the particular issues you may be struggling with at different points in the therapeutic process. Due to this, I feel I use more of an intergraded approach when it comes to doing therapy because my goal is to use the techniques or concepts that work best for the client to heal and grow as a person and achieve the outcome they want from engaging in therapy.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you to help you reach the goals you would like to in therapy!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
