About Kristyn
Kristyn "Kris" Hamblin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 13 years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. She lists additional focuses including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and substance-related problems. Kris works in straightforward language and aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are worried about starting therapy.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address current problems and build coping skills. Expect practical conversations about what is happening day to day, specific strategies to reduce overwhelm, and help setting small, doable goals. She pays attention to how relationships and past hurts shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
Kris has helped people facing addiction and domestic violence-related issues alongside trauma recovery work. She supports clients dealing with panic attacks and intense social fear by breaking challenges into smaller steps and practicing new responses. Her background includes more than a decade of hands-on clinical work in Oregon.
She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Kristyn works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and activity strategies to reduce acute anxiety and panic symptoms. These are taught in short, repeatable steps so people can practice them between sessions.Another central approach addresses trauma-related patterns by helping people notice how past experiences influence current reactions. This involves pacing, stabilizing techniques, and gradually testing new ways of responding to triggering situations. For social anxiety and phobia, she emphasizes exposure in small, manageable increments so discomfort can be reduced over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is observed.
