About Krista
Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience based in Tennessee. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image issues, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Krista uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, and EMDR. In practice she focuses on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. People can expect conversations that look at current patterns, what gets in the way, and small experiments to try between sessions.
Her background includes a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, from a CACREP accredited program that covered cognitive and behavioral techniques and trauma-focused care. Since graduating, she has continued professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and EMDR approaches. Her LPC credential is held in Tennessee.
In session Krista often blends short-term skills with deeper attachment and emotion work when it fits the concern. She regularly helps people sort through relationship issues, parenting strain, pain related to grief or trauma, and the stress that comes with caregiving or chronic illness. The focus is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work
Krista draws on attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques in her sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how relationships and early patterns shape current reactions and helps people change how they connect with others. Client-centered methods focus on straightforward conversation and being listened to so people can name what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral techniques teach concrete skills to notice thoughts and try different actions when anxiety or stress shows up.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches and adjust as needed. That shared planning helps people find what fits their situation rather than relying on one fixed method.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins if needed. Talk sessions work well for skill practice, emotion processing, and planning steps to try between meetings, while approaches like EMDR may be adapted to an online setting when appropriate and agreed on together.
