About Krista
Krista Asp is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who emphasizes attachment-based work to help people strengthen relationships and steady their emotions. She blends practical strategies with a warm, accepting stance so clients feel heard and respected from the first session. Krista uses straightforward tools drawn from client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches.
She helps people identify patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build new interaction habits. Sessions are aimed at small, useful changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her training includes work with trauma-focused approaches and ongoing study in mindfulness-based stress reduction and EMDR. That background informs how she supports people coping with anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as body image, eating issues, and caregiver stress.
Krista works with individuals and couples on relationship struggles, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and communication problems. She also supports people facing chronic illness, aging concerns, and cancer-related stress. Her practice includes attention to LGBT concerns and challenges around codependency or commitment.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple skills you can use between meetings. Krista aims to help clients feel more capable of managing stress, making decisions, and rebuilding connection in important relationships.

Online support
Attachment-Informed Care and Online Therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; online sessions let clients talk through relationship patterns and practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance, helping people feel heard while they name goals and choices for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage mood.Picking the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will talk about needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That process may mix attachment ideas, client-centered support, and CBT tools so the plan fits the person rather than a single method being used on everyone.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and seeing nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients share updates, use brief coaching between meetings, or get support when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
