About Kristin

Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and family-related concerns. She centers her work on practical support for everyday struggles, including mood changes, grief, and self esteem challenges. Kristin takes a steady, compassionate approach to help people regain a sense of control and direction.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help clients manage symptoms and build new habits. Kristin often helps people reduce panic and anxiety, sleep better, and cope with life changes such as divorce, fertility struggles, or transitions after military service. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress and blended family tensions.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to work through past harms. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to set realistic steps and celebrate small progress.

With six years of clinical experience, Kristin works with people navigating complex situations like adoption and foster care challenges, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients notice what’s working and make steady changes.

Kristin practices in Virginia and conducts therapy in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the site’s continue button on this profile to complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Kristin’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are, helping them feel heard while they decide their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and low self esteem. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people safely process past harms and develop coping skills to reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin will work with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use different therapy tools from home while working on concrete skills between meetings.
