About Kristin
Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado and Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works in Virginia and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, parenting pressures, and trauma-related symptoms.
She focuses on practical skills people can use right away. That includes tools for managing panic, improving sleep and eating patterns, and handling anger or low self-esteem. She also provides support around adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, fertility issues, and caregiver stress.
Kristin uses several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused techniques to address past hurts. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when people want short-term, goal-oriented work.
Sessions are aimed at improving everyday functioning. Kristin helps people build communication skills, cope with life transitions, and reduce symptoms of mood disorders and panic. She also supports those dealing with postpartum depression, isolation, and military-related stress.
Her approach is straightforward and task-oriented. Clients can expect to identify goals, try concrete strategies between sessions, and review what works. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding priorities and setting practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well in short exercises and homework between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impacts of past trauma with gradual, paced strategies that reduce symptoms over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will help clients choose and adapt methods based on individual goals, current challenges, and what feels most useful in session. That collaboration helps shape each plan and decide which strategies to try first.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or fewer transit demands on a workday. Different formats also let people choose sessions that require less bandwidth or do not use video if that better fits day-to-day needs.
