Hi, I’m Kristen Templin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience.
I became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered to create positive change in their lives. I specialize in supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma recovery, grief and loss, relationship issues, self-esteem, and major life transitions.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative, using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and strengths-based strategies. I believe therapy is a safe space for growth and healing, and I strive to meet you where you are with empathy and respect.
If you’re ready to take steps toward a healthier, more balanced life, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey. Let’s work together to help you feel more confident, resilient, and at peace.
Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
