Krista Asp, LPC

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve relationships. Her approach is practical and calm, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She earned a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. That training included cognitive and behavioral methods alongside trauma-informed practices. She has six years of experience in clinical settings and ongoing professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.

Sessions combine problem-solving tools with open listening. Clients can expect skill-building exercises, clearer ways to view challenging thoughts, and steps to change unhelpful patterns. Krista also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to deepen emotional understanding between partners and within oneself.

She works with people facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, LGBTQ matters, eating and body-image struggles, and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional focus areas include chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and coping with life changes like divorce or loss.

Krista offers both individual and couples work by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Her style aims to be steady and respectful, guiding each person toward clearer goals and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Approach-driven online therapy tailored to your needs

Krista often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relational patterns affect current relationships. That approach can help people understand closeness, trust, and communication problems. In addition, client-centered work means sessions include open listening and reflection so the person feels heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as needed. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text can fit into busy schedules or provide brief, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
