Kriss Light, LMFT

Kriss Light is a Jungian certificated psychotherapist and an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - who guides clients through the inward work of psychotherapy. She uses the language of Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus, and Individuation to help people explore deeper layers of experience and personal meaning. Her practice draws on depth psychology and is attentive to inner life across ages and backgrounds.

Her approach centers on bringing unconscious material into awareness through curious, collaborative exploration. Therapist and client investigate patterns, projections, and complicated feelings together, with the aim of reducing reactivity to others and increasing self-acceptance. This process supports a calmer, more integrated sense of self and renewed clarity about life choices.

Kriss welcomes people who arrive in therapy after loss, transitions, trauma, stressors, or health changes - moments that create crossroads and require sorting through values and emotions. Working through those experiences can bring clarity and a renewed capacity to trust the signs of one’s life, even amid ongoing challenges.

With interests in Comparative Religion and Jungian studies and a background as a musician, she brings a creative sensibility to the therapeutic journey. She offers a free phone consultation so prospective clients can determine fit, responds within 24 hours to inquiries, and will provide up to three referrals if she is not the right match.

Attachment, Insight, and Practical Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps clients understand attachment styles and works with relationship and intimacy concerns, family dynamics, and struggles that stem from early bonds.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers empathy and presence while clients lead the pace of exploration. This approach supports self-discovery, emotional processing, and strengthened self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and practical coping strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kriss collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as clarity and progress emerge.

Online therapy with Kriss is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to maintain consistency during life changes, accommodate busy schedules, and continue therapy from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals who tailor the process to each individual.
