About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Good is a California psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. She works with clients on relationship strain, grief, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She brings 24 years of experience and uses a client-centered approach. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual.
She and the client set clear goals and practice new skills together.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and tolerating distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work with trauma when appropriate.
In sessions she aims to help people understand their feelings and the feelings of others. The emphasis is on developing self-compassion and stronger coping tools. Clients learn practical strategies they can use after therapy ends.
People often come for help with career stress, parenting strain, ADHD challenges, or struggles tied to identity and gender. She also takes on complex cases like co-morbidity, chronic illness stress, and the impacts of past family problems. The focus is on realistic change and building a life that feels more satisfying.

Approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set practical goals and steps to reach them. This approach helps when someone wants a collaborative, respectful space to work through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online CBT sessions help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete behavior changes for anxiety, depression, or anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful for strong or volatile emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor plans to what actually helps the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let therapists observe facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
