About Kristin
Kristin Taman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She brings five years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Kristin aims to make the first steps feel doable for people facing strong emotions like anger, anxiety, or grief.
She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be said aloud without judgment. Kristin blends directive and non-directive techniques to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
That means sometimes she offers practical tools and other times she listens and helps guide reflection. Kristin uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change automatic negative thoughts. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people focus on values and actions that matter.
Dialectical behavior skills are used when emotions become intense and steadier coping is needed. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Sessions typically involve talking through specific problems, trying new ways of thinking, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings.
Kristin trained at Wake Forest University where she earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort and helps people choose strategies that fit their life and goals. Kristin encourages anyone who is nervous about starting to take that first step.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change automatic negative thoughts. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that lead to frequent anger. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a life that matters to them. ACT can be especially helpful when worries or past hurt get in the way of daily choices.Choosing the right method is a team effort. Kristin will work with each person to try approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining skill teaching with reflective conversation to find what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is a close substitute for in-person meetings and works well for skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging let people check in between appointments or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
