About Krista

Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting and family matters, and other life transitions. Krista also works with issues like grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and challenges related to intimacy and eating concerns.

She uses a mix of common clinical approaches to guide sessions, including cognitive-behavioral ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and emotion-focused work. Sessions are conversational and practical. She aims to help people notice patterns, name what’s happening, and build new ways of responding that fit daily life.

Krista trained at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a CACREP accredited program, and has built on that with post-graduate development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and EMDR. Her background includes addressing caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness and pain, and aging and geriatric concerns.

In sessions she commonly uses problem-solving and coaching-style conversation alongside therapy methods. She works with individuals and with couples on relationship matters, helping them sort communication, commitment, and codependency concerns. Krista also supports people navigating major changes such as divorce, loss, or medical trauma.

People who choose her typically want straightforward guidance they can use between sessions. She asks about what’s happening at home and in relationships, then focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

How sessions work

How her approaches inform online sessions

Krista uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior. This helps with intimacy issues, communication problems, and commitment concerns by naming interaction cycles and trying different responses.

She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, procrastination, and for building practical coping tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix conversational, experiential, and skills-focused elements so the plan can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find they can practice new skills at home and bring concrete examples to sessions, which helps keep progress connected to everyday life.
