About Kristen Corkum

Kristen Corkum is a California-licensed mental health professional with 12 years of experience delivering treatment services to adolescents, young adults, families, and groups. She holds a Master’s degree from the Boston University School of Medicine with a focus on mental health counseling and behavioral medicine, and she is a nationally certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) therapist. TF-CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps people process traumatic events and reduce related symptoms through skill building and gradual exposure.

Her clinical work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and depression, with additional attention to attachment concerns, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Kristen emphasizes amplifying voice, choice, connection, and personal power so clients can move toward meaningful goals rather than remain stuck in suffering.

She practices from a compassionate, human-centered stance that examines how life experiences shape self-view, relationships, and worldviews. Trust, support, and collaboration are central to her approach, and she creates space for vulnerability so clients can explore options for change. Kristen welcomes the courage it takes to seek help and offers steady support through the therapy process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings, trust, and how people connect with others. It helps clients explore relational dynamics and build safer, more supportive ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own pace and perspective, offering empathic listening and validation so people can discover their values and solutions. This approach is useful for strengthening self-understanding, decision-making, and emotional resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT can be applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by developing coping strategies and problem-solving techniques.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaboration. Kristen will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that feel like the best fit, adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and life demands. These options increase accessibility for people who live far from providers, have mobility or time constraints, or prefer different modes of communication, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, supportive care.
