About Kristen
Dr. Kristen Rumley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 21 years of experience. She has served in the United States Air Force and brings years of clinical work supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation challenges.
Rumley has long experience working with military and first responder issues and with those affected by disaster response. She also works with relationship concerns, boundaries, and attachment-related struggles. Guilt and shame are listed among the additional focus areas she addresses.
Her approach centers on building a reliable therapeutic relationship. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past bonds affect current feelings and behavior. She also draws on client-centered listening, narrative work to retell painful stories, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and motivational interviewing to support change.
In sessions she aims to be direct and straightforward. She prefers video sessions but is open to phone calls when that feels better for a client. She does not offer live chat for one-on-one counseling. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns. In online work this can help people understand why guilt or shame shows up in close relationships and how to try different ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing. It supports people who need someone to hear their story and to make sense of difficult feelings without pressure.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues appear.
She prefers video sessions and is open to phone calls if someone prefers that format. The biography does not list live chat for one-on-one counseling, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, keep check-ins brief when needed, and allow people to work with a therapist who understands military, first responder, and disaster response experiences without adding travel time.
