About Kristin

Dr. Kristin Good is a California psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges. She works in both English and Spanish and brings 24 years of clinical experience to conversations about mood, addiction, grief, and identity issues.

Her style is calm and focused. Sessions begin by identifying the client's priorities and setting clear, realistic goals. She uses straightforward tools people can practice between meetings to handle day-to-day stress and emotional ups and downs.

Background and approach

Dr. Good draws from Jungian ideas about meaning and symbolism to help clients make sense of inner patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's values and lived experience.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to teach practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She aims to help clients build self-compassion and stronger emotional awareness. The focus is on reducing pain and increasing the ability to cope, not on quick fixes.

People learn skills that support longer-term change and personal growth. Her background includes work with trauma, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity issues like gender dysphoria and LGBT-related worries. The approach is collaborative, with attention to what a client needs now and how to move toward a more satisfying life.

Online support

How Jungian and Practical Methods Work Online

Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams, and life stories to help people find meaning and new ways of understanding recurring problems. This can help with identity issues, emptiness, grief, and life transitions by tracing how past themes show up today.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting the person where they are. It helps people clarify values and set goals while feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change thought patterns and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision can shift over time as the therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or text messaging allows for shorter check-ins and ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and schedules while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
