About Kristin

Kristin Young, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy or relationship concerns. She supports clients navigating LGBT issues, sexual identity, and challenges around desire, sexual function, or non-traditional relationship structures. Kristin aims to make conversations about sexuality and identity straightforward and without judgment.

Her style is down-to-earth and strengths-focused. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, practical goals. Sessions combine talk with exercises meant to build awareness and change everyday patterns.

Background and approach

Kristin uses approaches that help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and repair connection where it matters. Kristin draws from several evidence-based methods to match the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior.

Attachment-Based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships. The Gottman Method is used to improve communication and reduce conflict in intimate partnerships. She takes a collaborative stance, asking what matters most to the client and adjusting techniques to fit their values.

Kristin emphasizes straightforward communication and practical steps you can use between sessions. She also focuses on sexual diversity, kink and BDSM, and polyamory with a nonjudgmental, sex-positive lens. Kristin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New Jersey with seven years of experience.

Sessions are offered in English and designed to move at each person’s pace. If you want a clear plan and supportive coaching through relationship and sexual concerns, Kristin offers direct, compassionate guidance.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Kristin commonly uses the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and reduce conflict in intimate relationships; this approach focuses on practical exercises and structured conversations that adapt well to video or phone sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and take values-driven action; ACT techniques like mindfulness and behavioral experiments can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over chat or text. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect present relationships and often involves discussing interaction patterns and trying new ways of relating during sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you’ll test methods and adjust as needed so the work feels relevant and practical for your life.

Online formats give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, while live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, and step-by-step practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
