Kriss Light , LMFT

Kriss Light is a licensed marriage and family therapist and Jungian-trained psychotherapist who brings depth psychology into everyday healing. She holds an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and integrates Jungian concepts such as Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus, and individuation to help clients explore how unconscious material shapes relationships and life choices. With 15 years of experience, she guides people through the inner work of making unconscious patterns more conscious so they can reduce projection, increase self-acceptance, and find greater emotional balance.

Her practice supports individuals and families facing loss, transitions, trauma, stress, health challenges, and life crossroads. She works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, and struggles with self-esteem and career changes. Kriss also pays close attention to attachment, abandonment, family of origin dynamics, codependency, and the creative aspects of healing.

Influenced by comparative religion and Jungian studies, she brings curiosity and creativity to therapy and often weaves musical sensibility into the work to support clients' inner life. She offers a free phone consultation to explore fit, aims to respond within 24 hours, and will provide up to three referrals if she is not the right match.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing

Kriss Light blends attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand intimacy, abandonment fears, and relationship dynamics. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance from the therapist so clients can explore their experience at their own pace and develop greater self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kriss works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and invites clients into a shared exploration to discover what brings the most relief and insight.

Online therapy with Kriss is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions, to access support from home, and to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
