About Krista

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, grief, and related issues listed in her specialties. Sessions address both personal struggles and interpersonal patterns that affect day-to-day life.

Krista uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, and EMDR. She draws on these approaches to help people notice and change repeating patterns that began in earlier family relationships. Her background includes a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, which is CACREP accredited, and ongoing professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and EMDR.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and talking through current problems. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, exploring emotional responses between partners, or addressing strong memories that keep coming up. She also integrates coaching-style support when clients want concrete strategies for daily challenges.

Krista works with individuals and couples and incorporates attachment ideas when helping people understand their relationship patterns. She lists a broad set of concerns she addresses, from caregiving stress and chronic illness to intimacy and eating concerns. Sessions are offered in English and follow the LPC scope of practice.

To start, Krista asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Krista uses attachment-based work to help people understand the relationship patterns they learned growing up. This approach looks at how early family roles and closeness affect current partnerships and interactions. It can help when old responses keep showing up in intimate relationships.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, testable changes that alter mood and functioning. EMDR is another part of her toolkit and is used when distressing memories or strong emotional reactions are getting in the way of daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Krista will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they choose what to try first. She blends methods as needed rather than using a single technique in isolation.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt these approaches for remote work so therapy can fit into ordinary routines without adding extra steps.
