About Krista

Krista Asp is an LPC who focuses on helping people change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of relationships and daily life. She centers therapy on personal and relationship growth and helps clients find more balance and wellbeing. Sessions aim to be practical and warm, with an emphasis on moving toward the life a person wants to build.

Krista earned a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a school accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Her training included cognitive and behavioral methods and trauma-focused care. Since graduating she has continued professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and she brings those perspectives into her work when they fit a client's goals.

Her style is solutions-focused while keeping an unconditional positive regard for each person. She uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered practices, cognitive behavioral approaches, and emotionally-focused strategies to address relationships, stress, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are intended to help clients notice patterns, practice small changes, and build new habits.

Krista has six years of clinical experience and works with individuals and couples on topics such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy concerns, and ADHD. She also addresses related issues like caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, and body image. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Krista practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so clients can arrange appointments according to her availability.

How attachment, CBT, and EFT fit into online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current thoughts and habits. Online sessions can help people identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating with partners and family members.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday habit changes and translates well to talk-based online work where practical exercises are given between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and individuals access and reshape emotional responses that underlie conflict and disconnection. In remote sessions this approach can guide couples to notice interaction cycles and try new responses in real time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Krista will discuss different methods and will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and preferences. This makes sessions more relevant and easier to apply between meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since they can vary. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy life. Licensed professionals can also assign exercises and tools to practice between appointments, helping new habits stick.
