About Kristen

Dr. Kristen Rumley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience. She combines practical support with a direct, down-to-earth approach.

People meet her as warm and straightforward, focused on helping them make real changes in everyday life.

Kristen also supports clients facing life transitions, addiction concerns, caregiving fatigue, and work-related strain.

Her background includes work with first responders and disaster response, which informs how she supports people in high-stress roles.

Background and approach

Kristen uses Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods. She pays attention to how relationships and early patterns influence present difficulties. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people recognize patterns and try different ways of relating and coping.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear goals. She helps people work on boundaries, communication, attachment issues, and the feelings that come with infidelity, divorce, or separation. Kristen also addresses issues such as anger, grief, parenting stresses, and career concerns.

She prefers video sessions but is open to phone calls when that fits better. Kristen works collaboratively to set a pace that feels manageable and empowering. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support

Attachment-informed care and online options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now and helps them try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat give flexibility for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when scheduling is tight. These options help people get consistent support without long commutes and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
