Kristin Reyes, LPC

Kristin Reyes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate relationship strain, family tensions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style in sessions and brings straightforward questions when they help move work forward. Kristin values humor and real connection while offering steady support through hard moments.

Her approach is practical and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life coping skills. Kristin helps people process past hurts, improve communication, and find ways to manage mood swings and stressful transitions.

She has worked with a wide range of presenting problems over her career, including trauma, sexual abuse, traumatic brain injury, severe mental illness, personality disorders, and autism spectrum concerns. That varied experience shapes how she tailors support to each person's situation.

Kristin aims to meet people where they are and build trust at a comfortable pace. She blends empathy with honest feedback to help clients see patterns, test new ways of coping, and practice different responses in everyday life.

Kristin practices in New Jersey and conducts work in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability. The site’s Start Therapy button begins that process.

Approaches that guide online work and collaboration

Kristin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes skills training to manage intense emotions and mood swings; it teaches clear tools people can use day to day to reduce overwhelm and improve functioning. Another approach centers on trauma processing and stabilization, helping people slowly name what happened, reduce distressing reactions, and build safer ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin works with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans as needed. She prioritizes what feels helpful to the client and recommends techniques based on current needs and preferences.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm what session types are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between errands. It can also let people use sessions that match their energy level - for example a brief phone check-in when bandwidth is limited or a video session when seeing facial cues matters most.
