About Kirstin

Kirstin Davis is a Michigan-based therapist and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 12 years of professional experience. She previously worked in Texas supporting NFL players with traumatic brain injuries and providing care to adults and adolescents in neuropsychology settings. Over more than a decade she has worked with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, family challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She values listening to each person’s story and approaches therapy from a nonjudgmental, strengths-based perspective. Her style emphasizes meeting clients where they are and collaborating to identify practical pathways forward rather than offering directive advice. Kirstin draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed practices to tailor support to individual needs.

She welcomes adolescents and aims to serve as a positive role model for younger clients; she is in her early thirties. Kirstin often prefers phone sessions because she travels frequently, will use video in some cases typically for initial appointments, and can also conduct sessions via live chat or text-based messaging. She prioritizes building a strong therapeutic alliance to help clients move toward their goals and fullest potential.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote and Voice-Based Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people exploring identity, self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and life purpose by emphasizing understanding and personal growth.



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges by helping clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns.



Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of resolving ambivalence and strengthening motivation for change. It can be particularly useful for addressing addictions, career transitions, or other situations where building readiness and confidence is a key part of progress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kirstin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity while traveling, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide consistent, effective care that aligns with each client’s schedule and needs.
