About Kristen
Dr. Kristen Rumley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 21 years of clinical experience. She is a USAF veteran who served eight years on active duty. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression, and she offers support around motivation and confidence.
She has many years of experience supporting first responders and people involved in disaster response, and she lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas. She also brings extensive work on relationship dynamics, boundaries, and attachment-related concerns.
Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. She describes herself as genuine and authentic and emphasizes the importance of the relationship between client and therapist.
Dr. Rumley uses methods that help clients reflect on their life stories and current patterns, and she draws on mindfulness and motivational techniques to support practical change. She aims to help people identify their strengths and make steps toward goals they set for themselves.
She prefers video sessions but is open to phone sessions when that feels better for the client. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior. This approach can help when attachment injuries, abandonment worries, or trust issues show up after loss or stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and reflecting what the client is saying so they can better understand their own feelings and choices. That method supports work on self-esteem, decision making, and building motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Rumley will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
She prefers video sessions but will do phone sessions when that better suits the client. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that meeting by video still supports deep, meaningful conversation and steady progress toward their goals.
