Kristin Fahey, LCSW, CSW

Kristin Fahey is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and intimacy issues. She also supports people facing depression and concerns related to LGBT identity. Kristin aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and respectful. She builds an open space where thoughts and feelings can be said without judgment. Conversations focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her, and practical steps are discussed to relieve pressure and improve daily life. Kristin listens for patterns that keep people stuck and looks for small changes that can make a difference. Her background includes long experience in varied settings, which informs a flexible approach in sessions. Kristin draws from therapy methods that emphasize values, behavior change, and collaborative problem solving. She matches techniques to what each person needs rather than using a single formula. Sessions emphasize clear communication and realistic goals. Kristin works with clients to identify what matters to them and to build skills for navigating tough conversations and emotional challenges. She also addresses related concerns like caregiving stress, body image, codependency, addiction, and family of origin issues when these affect daily functioning. People who choose Kristin can expect steady support, practical suggestions, and a calm place to talk through difficult choices. She focuses on the immediate problems while helping clients build tools for longer term change.

How Kristin's approaches translate to online therapy

Kristin uses approaches such as Imago Relationship Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit everyday problems. Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on understanding how early experiences shape current relationship patterns and supports clearer communication between partners. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and practice small actions that align with those values, which can reduce worry and increase life satisfaction.

Kristin treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss your needs, goals, and how you like to work, then suggest methods to try together. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful and relevant to your situation.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt exercises, communication practice, and goal-setting to fit remote sessions so work continues between meetings. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule to ensure they suit your routine and preferences.
