About Krista
Krista McClinton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns including ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating relationship issues, workplace strain, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Krista approaches conversations by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical ways to move forward. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be used between meetings.
Her work draws on client-centered listening alongside evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test different behaviors to see what changes how they feel. Solution-focused methods are used to identify immediate, workable changes when people need them.
Krista aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. She often helps with communication problems, coping with life changes, and dealing with the aftermath of trauma or difficult relationships. She can also talk with clients about issues like infidelity, jealousy, and the strain that comes from caregiving or high-stress jobs.
People who choose Krista typically want practical conversation, clearer plans, and moments of calm thinking. To get started she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin mapping out reasonable next steps.
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Krista uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. That means listening first, reflecting what she hears, and working from the client's own goals to plan next steps.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, or shame. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these tools to develop simple attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity and support clearer decision making.
Choosing how to work together is collaborative. Krista will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try different approaches to find what helps most. Adjustments are normal and expected as part of finding a good fit.
