Kristen DeVito, LPC

Kristen DeVito is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with four years of focused clinical experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and related challenges, bringing a practical, strength-based perspective to each therapeutic relationship.

Kristen approaches therapy believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries resources to move through difficult times. She works collaboratively to identify patterns that contribute to distress and to develop coping skills that increase motivation, confidence, and emotional resilience. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife changes.

Clients seeking help for panic, mood disorders, impulsivity, isolation, or financial and purpose-related stress can expect a supportive space where goals are clarified and small, achievable steps are emphasized. Kristen values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the initial step toward change feel manageable and respected.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Remotely

Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. These approaches often involve learning practical coping skills, practicing new ways of responding to stress, and building routines that support mood regulation and reduced anxiety. They are useful for issues such as panic, mood difficulties, addictive behaviors, and low self-esteem.

She also incorporates problem-focused strategies to address grief, motivation, and life transitions, helping clients set manageable goals and strengthen resilience after loss or during major changes. These methods prioritize actionable steps and ongoing skill development to support recovery and growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen works with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which techniques feel most helpful. This collaborative stance ensures treatment aligns with each person’s values and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Kristen offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations. This format can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while maintaining regular progress toward personal goals.
