About Kriss
Kriss Light is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening now and what keeps repeating in daily life. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.
Kriss draws on approaches that pay attention to relationships and emotional patterns. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current connections. She brings client-centered methods to put the person’s goals and experience at the center of sessions.
Her work also includes cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions. For people who have experienced trauma or intense emotional distress, she integrates focused processing strategies such as EMDR when appropriate. Conversations cover practical coping, patterns in relationships, and ways to respond differently to hard moments.
With 15 years of experience, Kriss combines clinical knowledge with a long-standing interest in meaning and creativity. She has a background that values depth and exploration alongside concrete steps for feeling better. Her musical background is part of how she encourages creative self-expression in therapy.
Kriss offers a free phone consult to see if she is a good fit and will provide a few referrals if not. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability.
