About Krista

Krista Asp is an LPC who focuses on personal and relationship growth. She aims to help people find more balance in how they feel and relate to others. Her style centers on practical steps and steady support during change.

Krista earned a post-graduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by CACREP. She draws on cognitive and behavioral techniques alongside trauma-focused work learned during her training. Over six years in practice she has developed a straightforward, solutions-oriented way of working.

Sessions emphasize a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. Krista uses mindfulness-informed stress reduction tools and EMDR as part of her approach when appropriate. She also works with attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and improve closeness.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, caregiver stress, and issues that come with aging and geriatric changes. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving demands, blended family challenges, and communication or intimacy difficulties.

Krista sees both individuals and couples for life transitions, relationship repair, and ongoing mental health work. She invites people who want practical changes and deeper self-understanding to begin a collaborative process toward healthier relationships and daily functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how people connect and repeat patterns with close others; online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice different responses in real time. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s goals; remotely this feels like steady, person-led conversation and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which fits well with focused online check-ins and tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match current needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work through life changes and caregiving responsibilities without insisting on a particular in-person schedule.
