About Kristin

Kristin Taman is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Washington who draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside other evidence-informed methods to help clients shift unhelpful thinking and build practical skills.

Background and approach

With five years of post-degree experience, she blends directive interventions and client-centered openness to tailor work to each person’s needs, focusing on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, motivation and self-esteem concerns. Kristin also has experience addressing depression, issues related to relationships and family, grief, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD.

She creates a welcoming space where feelings and thoughts can be expressed without judgment, and she emphasizes collaboration as clients explore automatic negative thoughts and learn ways to reframe or respond to them. Kristin uses therapeutic tools to support clearer thinking, stronger coping strategies, and increased confidence, meeting people where they are in the change process.

She encourages taking the first step toward help and supports clients through the practicalities of beginning therapy and progressing toward their goals.

Online approaches that support changing thoughts and building skills

Kristin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work to help clients address unhelpful thinking and live in line with personal values. CBT focuses on identifying automatic negative thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while committing to actions that reflect one’s values, which can be useful for dealing with avoidance, grief, or ongoing mood challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristin uses collaboration to determine what fits best for each person. She combines directive skills training with client-centered conversation, inviting clients to set goals and then testing approaches together so adjustments can be made based on progress and preference.

The online format offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions and maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to access therapy from different environments and use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on practical strategies and emotional insight with a licensed professional.
