About Krista
Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She trained at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in a CACREP accredited graduate program. Her education covered cognitive and behavioral approaches as well as trauma-focused work. Since graduating she has continued professional development in mindfulness-based stress reduction and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR.
Krista uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with attachment-based and client-centered methods to address relationship patterns and emotional responses. Sessions involve talking through feelings, identifying interaction patterns, and practicing new ways of responding. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools when helpful to address negative thinking and coping skills.
Krista works with individuals and couples on life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness concerns, body image and eating issues, and a range of stressors including compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. She lists additional focus areas such as blended family issues, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence.
Her approach is practical and direct. People can expect a focus on emotions, attachment dynamics, and the skills needed to manage day-to-day stressors and relationship conflicts. Sessions are offered in English and follow the LPC scope of practice in Tennessee.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Krista uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult emotions and to change interaction patterns that keep problems alive. EFT is often used for relationship patterns and attachment needs. Attachment-Based Therapy involves looking at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people recognize and shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, emphasizing listening and working at the client’s pace.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that video sessions allow them to use visual cues and maintain continuity during life transitions, while phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or a quicker check-in is preferred. Krista brings EFT, attachment-based practices, and CBT tools into remote sessions when those approaches fit the client’s goals.
