About Kriss
Kriss Light is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting challenges, and career or life-change struggles. Kriss writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person.
With 15 years of clinical experience, Kriss uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In sessions she works at a steady pace, helping clients name difficult feelings and notice patterns that keep them stuck. She explains ideas in everyday language and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Kriss draws on a long interest in depth psychology and creativity to support people who want to understand themselves more deeply. She values curiosity and helps clients turn confusing or painful reactions into clearer choices. That often reduces blame and opens new ways of relating to others.
People meet Kriss for help after loss, big transitions, trauma, or when life feels stuck. She offers a free phone consult to see if her style fits a person’s needs and will suggest referrals if she isn’t the right match.
Sessions are arranged through the platform workflow; prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Kriss responds to messages within 24 hours to coordinate next steps.
How Kriss's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they seek closeness or pull away and supports steps to build more secure interactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on each person’s goals and pace; the therapist reflects what she hears, helping people clarify values and make choices that feel right.Choosing an approach is often part of the work. Kriss treats the decision as collaborative and will discuss what fits your goals, preferences, and the problems you bring. She can combine ideas from different approaches to match your needs as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and more consistent follow-up between meetings. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep appointments during life transitions.
