About Kierstin
Kierstin Berggren is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with three years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. Kierstin also helps people coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches work from a practical standpoint. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and aim to develop skills people can use between meetings to manage strong feelings and difficult moments.
Kierstin uses several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior and try small experiments to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action when emotions are intense. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete tools for emotional regulation and tolerating distress.
She also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to keep conversations grounded in real concerns and relationships. That means time is spent on practical communication skills, handling conflict, and improving connection where it matters most. Kierstin works with issues related to ADHD, caregiver stress, aging, autism spectrum concerns, body image, and life purpose among others.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that align with those values. It can be helpful when worry, depression, or changing life roles make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral experiments. It works well for anxiety, low mood, and practical problems where changing routines or thought patterns can reduce distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, handling conflict, and tolerating distress. These tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive reactions cause problems in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kierstin will discuss options and collaborate on which methods fit someone’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may blend approaches over time so sessions match real-life concerns.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow continuity of care for people living outside the therapist’s immediate area, with scheduling adapted to work, family, and health demands.
