Kristin Lunte
Hi, I’m Kristin Lunte, LMHC. I’m a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience counseling people of all ages and backgrounds. I specialize in working with women during times when life feels emotionally difficult or relationships feel challenging or confusing. I can help you understand what may be contributing to anxiety or depression. We can work through trauma and difficult emotions and recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Sometimes the past is still affecting the present.
Results of the study were published in the Journal of American Medical Association. * I have thousands of positive reviews from clients expressing their improvement via teletherapy counseling.
Relationships are an important focus of my work. I have extensive experience helping women through infidelity, breakups, dating, and major life transitions. I can help you become clear about what you want in a partner and recognize dealbreakers earlier. You can approach relationships with more clarity and confidence. I have specialized training and experience in teletherapy. I provided the counseling/therapy in one of the largest national studies proving the effectiveness of teletherapy. Results of the study were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. I have received nearly 1,000 positive reviews from clients reporting improvement through teletherapy counseling. My clients consider me to be dependable, friendly, and effective. Please feel free to reach out and I look forward to talking with you.
First session
Therapy is like a sanctuary. A time and place that is just for you, without any distractions. Your first session is a chance for me to understand what brings you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and what you hope will be different. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or where to begin. My approach is caring and accepting and I’ll help guide the conversation, explain the therapy process, and answer any questions you may have. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard and understood with a clear sense of direction for our work together.
Strengths
I genuinely care about my clients and am invested in helping them make progress. I’m perceptive and skilled at recognizing patterns, making connections, and identifying strengths that may be difficult to see when you’re going through a challenging time. I take a positive and encouraging approach, while always working at a pace that feels right for you. I have a warm and accepting style combined with over 20 years of experience. I was a regular contributor to Yahoo! Personals/Match.com, writing about dating and relationships. I have also been featured in Hitched Magazine, Yahoo!’s main homepage, Divorce360.com, WHO-TV.com, and other national publications. I have worked with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds and strive to make everyone feel understood, accepted, and comfortable being themselves.
Ideal clients
I work with individuals, especially women, who may be dealing with anxiety or depression, navigating relationship challenges, or facing a major change in their lives. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to be different. I can help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be holding you back, and make changes that help you feel more confident and grounded in your life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies for creating meaningful change.
Strength-Based
I take a strength-based approach to therapy. I help you recognize the abilities, qualities, and inner resources you may overlook during difficult or uncertain times. We then build on those strengths to support greater confidence, clarity, and self-trust.
Psychodynamic
For those who want to go deeper, I use psychodynamic approaches to explore how past experiences and longstanding relationship patterns may be influencing the present. Greater awareness of these patterns can create more space to respond differently and make choices that fit who you are today.
