Kristin Money , LPC

Kristin Money is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee who brings more than a decade of clinical experience to her work. She earned a Master of Education with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling in 2013 and has provided individual counseling since 2012. As an LPC - a state credential indicating training and licensure to provide professional therapy - she integrates trauma-informed methods and evidence-based interventions to support people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger, and life transitions.

Kristin draws on trainings in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a range of trauma-informed techniques to create an eclectic, client-centered approach. She emphasizes empathetic, validating care while attending to how systemic oppression can shape an individual and their community. Her niche work centers on supporting neurodivergent people who have experienced abuse, helping them uncover strengths, recognize harmful family patterns, and cultivate a sense of self and inner safety.

A member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Kristin is LGBTQIA+ and gender accepting and affirming and practices from a secular perspective. She prioritizes working at each person’s pace, acknowledging that healing is not on a timeline. Per state licensing regulations, she provides services only to individuals who are physically located in Tennessee at the time of sessions.

Approaches for Online Trauma-Informed Care

Kristin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation and relationship difficulties. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that works with bilateral stimulation and memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristin collaborates with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as healing progresses so the plan stays client-centered and responsive.

Online therapy with Kristin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, mobility, or geographic constraints. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own environments while maintaining continuity of care and making it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
