About Kirsten

Kirsten Probst-Santha, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a trauma-informed and client-centered approach to supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families facing crisis, life transitions, and emotional stress. With four years of experience across school, residential, and community-based settings, she has worked with concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, postpartum experiences, and a range of family-related issues. Her work also spans mood and attention disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and complex family dynamics such as adoption, foster care, and blended families.

She emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building, helping people strengthen emotional regulation, develop coping strategies, and find greater stability during periods of change. Using methods informed by client-centered principles and evidence-based practices, she attends to each person’s background and cultural context while focusing on goals that matter to them. Kirsten aims to create an accessible, respectful therapeutic space where individuals and families feel seen and supported. She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and approaches each session with empathy and a focus on tangible steps toward improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an understanding, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the pace and topics of treatment. It helps people explore their feelings, clarify goals, and build confidence in their own problem-solving abilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and shifts unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-specific challenges by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it valuable for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and building coping skills.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kirsten works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports each person’s engagement and healing.
