About Kristen
Kristen Wright is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and related difficulties. Kristen also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and life purpose.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are built around what the client brings and practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and CBT to help identify and change patterns that keep problems stuck.
Kristen often helps people manage the daily pressures that pile up in early adulthood: leaving home, starting careers, relationship changes, and feeling behind. She talks through triggers, communication patterns, and steps for coping with stress and loneliness. The work can include setting small goals, practicing new ways to respond, and checking what works in real life.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults across many life stages. The LMFT credential indicates a focus on relational patterns and therapy that attends to how people connect. Kristen does not complete disability paperwork.

How Kristen uses client-centered and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without steering them. It helps people find their own priorities and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings together and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause anxiety, low mood, or relationship tension.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That decision can change over time as they see what helps and what does not.
