Kristin Scott-Groves, LCSW

Kristin Scott-Groves is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for everyday life.

Clients can expect sessions that focus on problem-solving and skill building. Kristin listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She emphasizes simple strategies people can try between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve mood.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including panic and mood disorders, postpartum depression, sleep problems, and grief. She also supports people facing parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, and fertility-related distress.

Kristin uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities, and trauma-focused ideas when past events continue to cause harm. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are offered to set clear goals and take concrete actions.

She is licensed as an LCSW in Colorado and Florida and practices from Virginia. Sessions are offered in English and available in several online formats to fit different schedules. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Kristin’s approaches work online

Kristin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is hands-on and works well for anxiety, panic, mood issues, sleep problems, and stress by teaching specific skills people can practice between sessions.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the person’s concerns and priorities rather than a set agenda. That approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. She uses brief, goal-focused techniques like solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing when people want quick action and clearer next steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face work and teaching skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging fit quick check-ins or ongoing notes, and text can support brief reflections between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles while keeping therapy practical and usable.
