About Kristin

Kristin Fahey is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 30 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues affecting LGBTQ+ people. Kristin aims to create an open space where clients can talk honestly and feel heard.

Her sessions start with listening closely to what matters most to each person. She helps clients name unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors that fit their values. Practical tools and short-term strategies are used alongside deeper conversations about patterns in relationships and self-image.

Kristin draws on several approaches to match what a client needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thinking that increases anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and focus based on each person’s concerns.

Over three decades she has worked with many kinds of life challenges, including caregiving stress, substance concerns, eating and body-image struggles, fertility and aging-related issues. She also supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems, divorce and family-of-origin hurts.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to be straightforward and practical. Kristin encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer communication, more satisfying relationships, and less daily worry. People who want a respectful listener and practical skill-building may find her approach helpful.

How Kristin’s approaches work in online therapy

Kristin uses methods that focus on values, thoughts, and real-life skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship confusion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on what the person brings and follows their pace rather than imposing a fixed agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will discuss goals, try methods collaboratively, and adjust the plan based on what is helping. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the focus of sessions as they go.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also allow work that focuses on communication skills, behavior experiments, or values-based homework without requiring an in-person visit.
