About Kristy
Kristy Zufelt is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life changes. Kristy speaks English and draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions.
Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns, name difficult feelings, and try new ways of relating to themselves. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer emotional understanding rather than jargon.
Kristy often helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment concerns, and communication problems. She also supports clients dealing with substance use, divorce and separation issues, mood and panic disorders, and guilt or shame. Intellectual disability and autism spectrum concerns are included among the areas she addresses.
In a typical session she will listen, ask focused questions, and offer exercises drawn from ACT and CBT when those fit the goal. EFT work in sessions looks at how feelings connect to behavior and relationships. The aim is to identify what keeps old patterns alive and then practice different responses.
Practical matters such as cost are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name the emotions that fuel relationship and behavior patterns. In short online sessions this can mean reflecting on key moments and practicing new responses to recurring feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions; online work often involves short exercises to clarify what matters and small steps to act on those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense for the person's concerns.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Ask about the session options available and how they can fit into daily routines.
