About Kristen
Dr. Kristen Rumley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of professional experience. She is a USAF veteran who spent eight years on active duty. Her background includes long-term work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles.
She has extensive experience with first responders and military-related concerns, and with people affected by disaster response. She often helps people who are wrestling with relationship patterns, boundaries, and attachment issues. Her approach emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.
In sessions she aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She describes herself as genuine and authentic and focuses on helping people recognize strengths they already have. The work centers on discovering self-understanding and shifting self-concept, behaviors, and attitudes to support personal growth.
Dr. Rumley favors video sessions but is open to phone appointments when that is more comfortable. She does not offer live chat for one-on-one counseling. Because she works from Texas, session cost varies with location and availability and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Visitors interested in starting are invited to use the site process to begin scheduling and connect when they are ready.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can help people understand how they relate to partners, friends, or coworkers and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help clients clarify values and make changes that feel right for them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change as people learn more about themselves in therapy, and she adjusts the focus over time.
Dr. Rumley prefers video sessions but is open to phone appointments when that better suits someone’s needs. The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when video isn’t ideal. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
