Kristin Manuel LPC- Associate

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed by worry, overthinking, stress, or the sense that their mind is always racing. Together, we explore what may be driving the anxiety, recognize patterns and triggers, and develop practical tools for managing difficult thoughts and emotions. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you build greater confidence, understanding, and peace as you move forward.

I believe grief is as unique as the person experiencing it. Loss can come through death, relationships, life transitions, or changes we never expected, and there is no single “right” way to grieve. I provide a compassionate space to process what has changed, honor what was lost, and learn how to navigate the waves of grief. Moving forward does not mean forgetting—it means learning how to carry what matters while making room for hope, meaning, and joy again.

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, disconnection, conflict, trust concerns, and major life transitions. I believe relationships can be a place of both challenge and meaningful growth. Together, we explore patterns, strengthen communication, and work toward greater understanding and connection while honoring the needs and experiences of each person.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples better understand the emotions and attachment needs beneath their relationship patterns. Together, we identify cycles that may contribute to conflict or disconnection and work toward healthier communication, emotional safety, and stronger connection

My approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy. I believe each client is the expert on their own experiences and has the capacity for growth and meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. It is an honor to walk alongside clients as they discover their strengths, gain greater self-understanding, and move forward in their own unique journey.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, explore new perspectives, and develop practical coping strategies that support meaningful change. My goal is to help clients build greater self-awareness, confidence, and skills they can use both inside and outside of therapy.
