About Kristen
Kristen Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with six years of professional counseling experience and a long history as a K-12 school counselor. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and compassion fatigue while building self-esteem and confidence. Kristen speaks plain, practical language and aims to make the first step less overwhelming.
Her background includes work with transient and immigrant populations and with members of the LGBTQA+ community.
Background and approach
She has led and co-led groups that used mindfulness and grief-focused work, and she has supported people who have experienced thoughts of self-harm. That experience informs how she teaches coping skills and offers psychoeducation. Kristen often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make a big difference.
She also applies solution-focused methods to set clear, reachable goals and track short-term progress. These approaches are adaptable for one-on-one sessions or group work. She draws on her school counseling background when working with motivation, self-esteem, and communication concerns, using positive behavioral strategies and elements of play when appropriate.
Kristen emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. When people start with her, they can expect a straightforward plan that matches their needs. Kristen tailors conversations and goals to what the person wants to change, with practical steps to try between sessions.

Approaches and online options for practical problem-solving
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people name their goals and feel heard while they decide what changes to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and identifying what already helps. It is useful when someone wants focused, step-by-step progress rather than long-term exploration.
Kristen treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will work with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as things change.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or quicker turnarounds when scheduling is tight. These options support flexibility and ongoing momentum in the work.
