About Kristy
Kristy Zufelt is a licensed clinician who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, and the effects of trauma. She names the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on building strengths that support change. Kristy practices with direct, respectful guidance and encourages people to take small steps forward when things feel overwhelming.
With 14 years of experience in behavioral health, she draws on approaches that help people notice what matters to them and change patterns that get in the way. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, short-term skills, and real-life practice between meetings. Kristy pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and the habits that maintain distress.
She works with a wide range of concerns including panic, mood changes, substance use, and issues around abandonment and attachment. Kristy also supports people navigating divorce or separation, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns. Men’s wellbeing is one of the areas listed among her practice interests.
Her work includes helping people manage guilt, shame, impulsivity, and anger while also addressing intellectual disability and autism-related needs when present. Kristy aims to make therapy a straightforward process with clear steps and measurable progress.
Kristy holds the LCMHC credential, practices in Utah, and offers services in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Kristy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people clarify personal values and practice small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase purposeful choices. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to ease symptoms like panic and low mood.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment patterns are central. EFT helps people notice emotion-driven responses and try new ways of relating that can reduce conflict and improve closeness. The therapist will discuss which approaches match a person’s goals and tailor methods to each situation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristy works with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, needs, and everyday routines. Over the first sessions she clarifies priorities and adjusts plans so work in therapy feels relevant and doable.
Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into regular life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use tools like worksheets, in-session practice, and real-time problem solving while at home or between commitments.
