About Kristin

Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and related struggles. Kristin also supports those dealing with mood disorders, panic attacks, and grief.

She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying small changes between meetings. Kristin draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and client-centered methods to help people notice patterns and shift them.

Kristin has experience supporting veterans and people going through life transitions. She also helps with issues linked to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and fertility-related strain. Other common topics she addresses include communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and sleep or eating disruptions.

Her trauma-focused work aims to reduce the hold of past events on daily life. That work pairs with solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and measure progress. Motivational interviewing is used when people want guidance on changing habits or sticking with a plan.

Sessions are offered in English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Kristin’s approaches work for online sessions

Kristin uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and goals. That approach emphasizes listening and helping people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term, workable goals and on motivational interviewing when someone wants support making a change. These methods are practical and aim to produce small, measurable shifts rather than vague promises. Kristin will work with each person to decide which combination fits their needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Confirm which session formats are being offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people choose options that need less video use, require lower bandwidth, or allow shorter, more focused sessions during a lunch break. The therapist will discuss what format will best support the goals you bring to sessions.
