About Kristen

Dr. Kristen Rumley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 21 years of clinical experience. She is a USAF veteran and has worked extensively with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, motivation, and self-esteem concerns. Her background includes long experience with first responders, military and disaster response contexts.

She helps people talk through relationship and attachment concerns. That includes work on boundaries, communication problems, abandonment and codependency. She also supports people facing career strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges with intimacy and forgiveness.

Her practice emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and on mindfulness and narrative approaches to help with present-moment coping and changing unhelpful stories about oneself.

Kristen prefers video sessions but is open to phone if that is more comfortable. She does not offer live chat for one-to-one counseling. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button. She does not work with international clients and conducts sessions in English.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships influence current feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be used to notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. In remote sessions the therapist follows the client’s priorities and uses listening and reflection to help people clarify goals and next steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss which methods fit your concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as needed. That collaboration helps make remote sessions relevant to day-to-day problems. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography prefers video and allows phone if needed, and does not offer live chat for 1:1 counseling. Ask about any scheduling details you need to make sessions fit your life, such as shorter check-ins or timing around work or caregiving. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and allow flexible scheduling without requiring travel.
