About Kristin

Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with six years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and changes that come with parenting or caregiving. Kristin also supports people facing trauma and grief and those managing mood or panic symptoms.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches in sessions. Kristin listens without judgment and works with people to identify what's fuelling their frustration or worry. Conversations move from naming the problem to trying small, practical changes that can reduce tension at home and work.

Kristin often helps people who feel stuck after loss, separation, or major life shifts. She also sees people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family strain, fertility concerns, and the stress of caregiving. Veterans and those with post-traumatic stress are within her experience base.

Her methods include talking through patterns of thinking and behavior, setting realistic goals, and practicing new ways of responding to difficult moments. Sessions can include brief skills practice and check-ins to track progress over time.

Kristin works in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the See online therapy options button.

How Kristin uses talk therapy approaches online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and anger. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build motivation for specific steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which methods to use and how sessions are shaped, so the plan is a collaboration rather than a preset formula.

The therapist profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio in ways that suit their schedule and bandwidth. Ask about session length and format when matching so you know how a format will fit your routine.
