About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Good is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY20854) with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns such as sleep problems, eating issues, relationship strain, and questions about gender and sexuality. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's priorities. That means goals are set together and therapy aims to teach practical skills people can use outside sessions. Kristin emphasizes learning tools for emotion regulation, communication, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes work with trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She also addresses attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and family of origin problems. Treatment often involves structured techniques alongside reflective exploration of personal meaning and patterns.
In practice she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach problem-focused strategies and distress-tolerance skills. She also uses EMDR for trauma processing and elements of Jungian therapy when exploring symbols, dreams, or identity questions feels useful to the person.
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck, practice new responses, and build clearer communication with others. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and clear goals in simple, collaborative steps. It helps when someone wants to address practical life problems and learn new ways of responding to stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, worry, sleep issues, and mood concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills can help with intense moods, relationship conflicts, and coping during big life changes.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan together so the methods fit what the person needs and prefers.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the time spent traveling. A therapist can also adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
