Do you find yourself burdened with repetitive thoughts of “Why can’t I escape my past?” or you can’t seem to escape the guilt or shame associated with a past traumatic event? Do you find it nearly impossible to find peace? These very things rob us daily from experiencing joy, confidence, happiness, peace, and healthy relationships. Relationships are my passion, especially those concerning individuals suffering from issues related to communication, addiction, sexual abuse, loss of identity, intimacy, marriage/divorce, depression, and broken trust. Each individual, in my opinion, is unique and my approach is tailored case specific.

Our past experiences, how they affect our world views, ourselves, and others are important. We all have good and bad experiences but sometimes the bad ones can leave us with emotional scars and painful memories. For example, we might find ourselves feeling anxious, depressed, angry, violent, passive, scared, intimidated, or overly pleasing. Some may turn to alcohol, other drugs, unhealthy coping strategies or avoid people and life altogether. You're not alone. Don't be ashamed, think you're different, or think that something's wrong with you. I'm here to lend a listening ear and psychologically assist you through those challenges.

Being human is hard! Living in the current world with all its complexities is even harder; thus, the need to talk to someone at some point, about something, has become inevitable. All our sessions are conducted via Telehealth while maintaining the nurture, care, professionalism and the listening ear you need in order to help resolve the presenting issues - be they marital, parental or individual. I have a very specific interest in couples but also enjoy treating mood disorders using an amalgamation of evidence-based modalities and inner child work for certain presentations. Either way, the client drives the process.

Greetings and welcome to Path! My name is Kristien Hollingsworth. I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my profile. I understand seeking out a therapist can feel tedious, and in some cases, anxiety provoking. Evidence has shown the method of therapy is far less important than the relationship with your therapist. If you do not feel like you can openly share what you are experiencing or have been through in your past, therapy with that individual will be a waste of your time and money.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
