About Kristin

Dr. Kristin Good helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and concerns around identity and sexuality. She also supports those facing grief, addiction, sleep or eating struggles, parenting stress, anger, career questions, and attention-related challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She takes a client-centered approach and begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. Together they set goals and build practical skills.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on simple, usable tools that people can try between meetings. Dr. Good also uses cognitive-behavioral and dialectical skills to address unhelpful thinking, emotional regulation, and coping under pressure.

She brings approaches that help people notice patterns, test ideas, and try small changes that lead to clearer choices. For people with trauma history she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, sometimes called EMDR, as one option to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She balances that with Jungian ideas about meaning when that fits someone’s goals.

With 24 years of experience as a California psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY20854), she aims to make therapy direct and understandable. Her manner is warm and straightforward. The focus is on helping people move from managing symptoms to building a life they find more satisfying.

Online support

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. Good commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety and depression and help with sleep, eating, and daily routines. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people facing overwhelming feelings. When trauma is central to a person’s concerns she may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one option to process strong memories and reduce their intensity.

Choosing the best approach is part of therapy itself. She works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to create flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client interact face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical progress.
