Kristen Corkum is a California-licensed clinician (CA LPCC 11501) with 13 years of professional experience providing treatment services to adolescents, young adults, families, and groups. She earned a master’s degree from the Boston University School of Medicine with a focus on mental health counseling and behavioral medicine and is a Nationally Certified, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapist (TF-CBT - trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy).
Her practice centers on supporting people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and depression. She brings extensive clinical experience to work with individuals and families and aims to amplify clients’ voice, choice, connection, and sense of power in therapeutic work.
Kristen uses a compassionate, human-centered approach that explores how life experiences shape a person’s view of self, relationships, and the world, and whether those views help move them toward their goals or keep them stuck in suffering. She emphasizes trust, support, and collaboration as key ingredients for healing and growth, and creates a space where clients can feel able to be vulnerable and share their experiences.
Kristen recognizes that seeking help takes courage and she looks forward to supporting clients as they explore options for change and healing.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One clear benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their needs and schedule - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate treatment into a busy life.
These services are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they would like a different fit. Online therapy can offer a convenient way to access skilled support for many everyday mental health concerns while maintaining the same professional standards as in-person care.
