About Kristin

Kristin Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy or relationship concerns. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, body image, and sexual concerns such as sexual dysfunction, kink and BDSM topics, and non-monogamous relationships. Kristin keeps sessions straightforward and nonjudgmental.

She centers each conversation on the person's goals and strengths. She explains options in plain language and helps people make small, doable changes that fit their lives.

Background and approach

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including attachment-focused work, acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and emotionally-focused strategies. Kristin uses these tools to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and build clearer communication in close relationships. People meet Kristin to address loneliness, social anxiety, sexual trauma, or struggles with self-love and identity.

She works with people who want to better understand their needs around intimacy, sexuality, and relationship structure without judgment. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Kristin invites clients to bring their questions and to try practical exercises between sessions.

Her aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapies translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and feel safer asking for what they need; it can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship patterns, and building trust. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each person to weigh options and try methods that match their goals and preferences. Over time she adjusts techniques based on what helps most, so the therapy fits the client's day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and texting can fit quick check-ins or brief emotional support between longer sessions. These options aim to make consistent care easier to fit around work, school, and family commitments.
