Krista Asp, LPC

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who guides individuals and couples through personal and relational growth. With six years of clinical experience, she blends practical, solution-focused strategies with an accepting, nonjudgmental stance that aims to help people rediscover balance in their mental health and relationships. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, and other life transitions.

She completed her postgraduate training at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by CACREP, where her studies spanned cognitive and behavioral techniques as well as trauma-focused approaches. That foundation supports a practice that uses evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral methods alongside trauma work to meet each person where they are.

Krista has pursued additional professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and in EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - to broaden the ways she supports healing and resilience. Comfortable working with both individuals and couples, she approaches therapy as a collaborative journey toward greater self-understanding and wellbeing, helping clients uncover the person they were born to be.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Krista Asp integrates several established approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people build more secure, connected ways of relating, which can be useful for couples, families, and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - is used when trauma or distressing memories interfere with daily life; it helps the brain process those memories so they feel less disruptive.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Krista collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Krista provides support by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so sessions can fit different schedules and comfort levels. Working remotely with licensed professionals makes it possible to continue consistent care and to access therapeutic tools and guidance from home or wherever is most convenient.
