About Kristin
Kristin Fahey is a Georgia-licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with 30 years of practice. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, relationship or intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, and depression. She also addresses guilt and shame alongside family and body-image concerns.
Kristin invites practical conversation. She helps people say what they are feeling and notice how those feelings affect day-to-day choices. Sessions focus on clear steps and real examples rather than jargon. Talk often moves between current problems and what people want to do differently next.
Her work uses straightforward therapeutic tools. Kristin listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, and she offers ways to test new responses in small, doable steps. She also supports people who are managing caregiving strain, recovery from substance or relationship problems, or difficult family histories.
Over three decades she has seen many kinds of situations, from fertility and aging concerns to codependency and separation. That experience informs how she helps clients sort priorities and set manageable goals. She aims to help people weigh choices and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
People who bring guilt or shame are invited to talk about what happened and what feels stuck now. Kristin works with clients to name painful beliefs, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice different responses. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that can fit into everyday life.
How Kristin applies common approaches in online work
Kristin uses therapies that focus on what people do and notice in their everyday lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them and clarifying values to guide small behavioral steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflective responding so people can name their own goals and try changes at their own pace.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Kristin will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then use elements from these methods in collaboration. That means the plan can change as needs do, and techniques are chosen with the client's input.

Kristin aims to help clients practice new responses in everyday settings, and online meetings can support that practical focus.
