About Kristin

Kristin Scott-Groves is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who blends practical skill-building with empathic support. She frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and trauma-informed techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the effects of trauma.

Background and approach

Her work covers a wide range of life challenges, including family and relationship difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, grief and loss, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and symptoms such as panic attacks or depressive episodes.

She also provides focused support around adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, fertility and postpartum concerns, and the impacts of domestic violence. Kristin emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and uses evidence-based strategies to build coping skills, improve communication, and promote emotional regulation.

With six years of clinical experience and licensure in Virginia (CO LCSW 425, FL LCSW SW19928), she offers accessible options for engaging in therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Prospective clients can begin by selecting Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult events and build strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms while restoring a sense of safety and control.

Finding the best approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. She will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques from CBT, trauma work, or other methods to fit the person’s situation and pace. This collaborative planning helps ensure that therapy tools align with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for many people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between sessions, and access different modes of communication so clients can choose what feels most helpful.
