About Kristin

Kristin Reyes, LPC, focuses on relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk honestly about hard things. Kristin keeps a relaxed style but asks direct, thoughtful questions when that will move work forward.

Her sessions mix warmth and practicality. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. Kristin listens for patterns that make everyday life harder, then helps people try different ways of thinking and behaving to ease stress and rebuild connection.

Over 15 years she has supported people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She has experience with trauma-related concerns including sexual abuse and domestic violence, and has worked with people affected by serious mental health conditions and brain injury. Her experience includes involvement in family court and work with at-risk populations.

Kristin values honesty, humor, and steady support during difficult work. She aims to help people process painful events, improve communication, and find concrete steps forward. Sessions are aimed at real-life progress rather than only talking about problems.

She practices in New Jersey and works in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to connect people with her, followed by scheduling based on availability. Kristin believes therapy should be a practical, trustworthy resource during change and recovery.

Step 3

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Kristin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work with trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact through step-by-step exposure and coping skills. This helps people feel less overwhelmed by past events and regain control over daily routines.

Another approach emphasizes improving communication and attachment patterns. It teaches practical skills for clearer expression, setting boundaries, and repairing trust in relationships. These skills often help when family dynamics, blended family issues, or caregiver stress make everyday life harder.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking because this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to participate from locations that are quieter or more convenient, which helps maintain regular sessions during life transitions.
