More about Kristen

  • 21 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hi! I am Dr. Kristen Rumley. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience. I am also a USAF Veteran, where I served 8 years active duty. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I have 15 years specialized experience working with military, military families, first responders, and disaster response. I also have a lot of experience working with people on relationships, boundaries, and attachment theory. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am genuine and authentic and I strive to do the best I can to help people. I believe that success in therapy is strongly related to the therapeutic relationship. I also believe that you have what you need within yourself to change your self-concept, behaviors, and attitudes and you have the ability to reach your highest potential. My role is to help you discover and understand yourself for overall personal-growth. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I do prefer video as a means to do sessions but I am open to phone if you feel more comfortable with that. I do not offer live chat options for 1:1 counseling. Thank you for trusting me with what you are going through.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
