About Krista
Krista Asp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on personal and relationship growth. She centers sessions on practical steps and steady support. Krista aims to help people find balance in their mental health and improve how they relate to others.

Her background includes a postgraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a program accredited by CACREP. Over six years of practice she has supported people through stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She also helps with relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and concerns such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, and body image.
Krista works with individuals and couples to identify doable goals. Sessions prioritize clear steps, skill-building, and checking what’s working. She combines client-centered listening with focused exercises so progress feels measurable.
People choosing Krista should expect a collaborative pace. She will help set goals and adjust methods as needed. Her approach aims to reconnect people to their values and improve day-to-day coping while addressing deeper patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing.

How Krista’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Krista uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how past relationships shape present reactions, and she works to create new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. That approach can be useful for relationship patterns, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns.She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT-style work often includes practical exercises, straightforward homework, and tracking progress over time, which can fit well into an online schedule.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Krista will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is assessed. Clients help set the pace and choose what feels most useful.
If you’re considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow quieter, focused check-ins that support skills practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide practical at-home exercises and symptom tracking so therapy connects to everyday life.
