About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Good is a California Psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY20854) with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She uses a client-centered stance that starts with the person's goals. That means listening first, then setting clear targets together. She blends practical skill-building with reflective work so people can notice patterns and try new ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotional regulation and handling intense feelings. When past events keep affecting current life, she may use EMDR to help process those memories.
Work often focuses on repeated family patterns - roles, expectations, and attachment habits learned in childhood. Sessions look at how those patterns show up in adult relationships, work, and parenting. She also addresses co-occurring issues such as sleep problems, substance use, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Her approach combines skill practice with deeper exploration. People leave with concrete tools they can use right away and clearer ideas about longer-term change. The aim is steady progress toward better coping and improved daily functioning.
Approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Good frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when past events continue to affect daily life. EMDR aims to reduce the emotional charge of disturbing memories so they interfere less with current functioning.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines. Some formats may be shorter or use less bandwidth, which can help on busy days. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote work so progress continues between visits.
