About Krista

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting pressures, and the life changes that commonly affect young adults. Sessions are described as solution-focused and grounded in respect for each person’s experience.

Krista draws on cognitive and behavioral strategies alongside attachment-informed work. Her background includes postgraduate training at a CACREP-accredited program at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. She also pursued professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which inform how she responds to trauma and stress reactions.

Her approach centers on practical steps and compassionate listening to make everyday life more manageable. People can expect conversations that look at patterns in relationships, coping skills for anxiety and mood, and strategies for clearer communication. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, intimacy-related worries, eating concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.

Krista works with individuals and with couples around relationship issues. She is familiar with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and grief linked to illness or loss. This experience shapes how she supports people facing major transitions such as moving, changing careers, or adjusting after school.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Tennessee. The practice notes that session costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide online work

Krista uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day stressors that many young adults face. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections; it can help with intimacy, communication, and recurring relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Krista works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and situation. She explains options, watches how a person responds, and adjusts the mix of techniques over time based on progress and preference.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or irregular schedules. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to fit in, or reduce traveling time so people can access support between other commitments.
