About Kristen

Kristen Dewberry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She brings a warm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and uses a bit of humor when appropriate. Kristen focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes.

She also works with concerns like parenting, ADHD, self-esteem, and career questions. Kristen blends practical strategies with a client-centered way of working. She listens first, then helps people set goals and try steps that fit their life.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Solution-focused methods help build small, concrete changes that add up over time. Mindfulness techniques are offered to teach breathing and noticing skills for intense moments.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make a change but feel stuck or unsure where to start. Sessions aim to feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. Kristen also brings experience from recreational therapy, which informs creative and expressive tools she may suggest.

Those options are adapted to what the person prefers and finds useful. She highlights practical coping skills for panic, caregiving stress, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue. People often come to Kristen seeking help after life transitions, during pregnancy and postpartum, or while managing chronic health or caregiving demands.

Her approach centers on clear steps, steady support, and helping each person find what works for them.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Kristen uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities guide each session. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right fit is part of the work together. Kristen will collaborate to choose approaches that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine elements from different methods and adjust them over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from another location, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to try different formats to see what works best.
