About Kristin
Kristin Scott-Groves is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. She practices in Virginia and brings six years of clinical experience to brief and ongoing work. Kristin aims to create straightforward, practical steps so people can feel more able to cope day to day.
Her sessions start with listening to the person’s concerns and goals. She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, sleep problems, and worry.
Background and approach
Kristin also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and challenges after major life changes. Kristin works with people impacted by family and caregiving stresses. That includes adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and communication problems.
She also supports clients facing veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum depression, and recovery from domestic violence and trauma. Her practice draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused methods. She helps people learn skills for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and handling ADHD-related struggles in everyday life.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what helps most. Kristin holds a licensed clinical social worker credential, LCSW, and carries both a Colorado and Florida license listed as CO LCSW 425 and FL LCSW SW19928. She offers sessions in English and provides video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens actively and mirrors concerns so the client feels understood, then supports choices that matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Kristin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill-building, trauma-focused work, short-term solution-focused steps, or motivational interviewing to support change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and deeper discussion. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, quick planning, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
