Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello and welcome. My name is Kristin Allen, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. I have worked in a variety of practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, and inpatient treatment centers. I began my career in Kentucky and moved to Florida in 2015. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from Georgetown College and my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Eastern Kentucky University.
My approach to treatment is first to help my clients to feel safe, accepted, and understood. Research suggests that one of the most significant predictors of therapy success is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, so I consider this a critical component of my work. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients to identify areas in which they’d like to better understand themselves and to support their process in areas where they seek personal growth. The benefit of these approaches is that they simultaneously promote self-acceptance and compassion while also encouraging the development of increased self-awareness and skill-building.
Many times, an important aspect of therapy is exploring and accepting our unique identities, such as sexual orientation, gender identity, racial identity, etc, These identities influence our previous and current experiences, which often shapes our perspectives about ourselves and others. It is my goal as a therapist to help my clients to explore, process, and ultimately embrace their whole and authentic selves and to build and strengthen supportive connections with others.

Kristin Allen is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She has provided care across a range of settings, including private practice, community mental health agencies, and inpatient treatment centers, and began her career in Kentucky before relocating to Florida in 2015.
She completed undergraduate studies in psychology at Georgetown College and earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Eastern Kentucky University. Her clinical work emphasizes creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, accepted, and understood, because she views the therapeutic relationship as a central factor in positive outcomes.
Kristin integrates evidence-based approaches into her practice, drawing on cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients increase self-awareness, develop practical skills, and foster self-compassion. She works with individuals on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, parenting issues, career difficulties, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, and she provides affirming care for LGBT clients.
Part of her work often involves exploring and accepting aspects of identity—such as sexual orientation, gender identity, and racial background—and helping clients understand how those identities shape their experiences and relationships. Kristin’s goal is to support people in embracing their authentic selves and strengthening connections with others as they pursue personal growth.
Research and experience show that for many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit of remote care is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that works best for them, whether through video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging, which often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and many people find that the quality of the therapeutic relationship and the use of evidence-based approaches make remote therapy a practical option. If a different fit is desired, clients typically have the option to switch therapists.
