About Kristen
Kristen Burroughs is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with six years of professional experience and more than nine years as a K-12 school counselor. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to attention and impulsivity. Kristen offers straightforward support and practical tools for day-to-day coping.
Her background includes work with transient and immigrant populations and with members of the LGBTQA+ community. She has led groups that use mindfulness and grief-focused work, and she has supported people who have struggled with self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Kristen also draws on school counseling experience and positive behavioral interventions when relevant.
In sessions she uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the person in front of her, while also building small, actionable steps to change patterns and manage symptoms such as panic attacks. She provides psychoeducation to help people understand their responses and build new habits.
Her approach is practical and respectful. Kristen tailors each plan to the person’s strengths, preferences, and goals. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If you want to explore ways to reduce anxiety, cope with loss, or rebuild self-worth, she focuses on clear skills and achievable goals to help you move forward.
How her approaches guide online care
Kristen uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's concerns and goals. This approach focuses on listening, validating experiences, and shaping sessions around what the client finds most pressing, which can help when facing anxiety or grief.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people learn practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic episodes, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused therapy complements this with short-term, goal-oriented steps that build momentum and small wins.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and focus based on goals, whether someone needs coping skills, grief support, or help managing impulsivity.
