About Krista

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who focuses on personal growth and relationship repair. She helps people untangle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and the strain that comes with life changes. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth so people can use what they learn right away.

Her background includes a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by CACREP. That education included cognitive and behavioral tools as well as trauma-informed methods. Over six years in practice she has worked with individuals and couples on a wide range of concerns from depression and intimacy problems to caregiver stress and chronic illness challenges.

Krista uses approaches that emphasize how relationships and attachment shape feelings and behavior. She brings client-centered care to sessions, offering steady support while focusing on clear steps forward. Mindfulness-based stress reduction and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing are part of her ongoing professional development.

In therapy she balances practical strategies with attention to emotional experience. Conversations may include skill-building for coping, work on communication, and processing past hurts that continue to affect daily life. The goal is clearer self-understanding and better ways of managing stress and relationships.

How attachment work and practical approaches translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how someone feels and connects. Online sessions can help identify repeating patterns in relationships and practice different ways of interacting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping the person find their own answers. In a remote session this often means the therapist reflects what’s said and helps the client notice useful options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more toward skill practice, emotional processing, or attachment-focused work.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also allows continuing care through life transitions and makes it possible to try techniques like guided mindfulness or structured CBT exercises without being in the office.
