About

Dr. Kristen Rumley, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience supporting adults through stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and concerns related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She is also a U.S. Air Force veteran who served 8 years on active duty, and she brings 15 years of specialized experience working with military service members, military families, first responders, and disaster response-related challenges.

Her work often focuses on the patterns that shape relationships, including boundaries and attachment-related concerns. Dr. Rumley approaches therapy with a grounded, genuine style and aims to foster an environment where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She views the therapeutic relationship as a central part of meaningful progress and works collaboratively to help clients better understand themselves, their reactions, and the changes they want to make.

Dr. Rumley believes people can strengthen their self-concept, shift unhelpful behaviors and attitudes, and move toward their highest potential. Her role is to help clients discover insight and build practical understanding that supports personal growth and life transitions. For sessions, she prefers video and is also open to phone when that feels like a better fit. She does not offer live chat options for 1:1 counseling.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions

Dr. Kristen Rumley draws from approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape trust, boundaries, and emotional needs. It can be useful for people navigating relationship strain, codependency, abandonment concerns, or difficulty feeling secure and connected.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and a supportive space where clients can explore what matters most at their own pace. This approach can fit well for concerns like stress, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions, especially when someone wants room to reflect and clarify goals.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment, helping clients respond more intentionally rather than automatically. It is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, mood shifts, overwhelm, and day-to-day pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Rumley works collaboratively with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts the focus and tools to match what is most helpful over time.

Online therapy can make care easier to fit into real life through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can support consistent follow-through when schedules are busy, routines change, or extra support is needed between sessions.
