About Krista
Krista Arrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with thirty years of experience in mental health. She builds practical, goal-focused partnerships that help people make changes and manage immediate challenges. Krista is straightforward and warm, and she pays attention to the everyday details that shape how people cope.
She uses collaborative goal setting and simple problem solving to track progress over time. Sessions often focus on understanding patterns that no longer serve a person and on learning small, doable practices to feel better. Humor and direct feedback are part of her style when appropriate.
Her background includes community-based outpatient programs and work in public school settings. That history gives her a wide view of life changes, grief, sleep problems, and family dynamics. She also has particular experience with learning differences and neurodiverse learners and helps parents explore related parenting concerns.
Common topics she addresses include relationship strain, family conflict, parenting stress, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Krista also supports people through caregiving stress, end-of-life and hospice related grief, and major life transitions.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness practices and family systems thinking. She adapts techniques to fit each person's needs and goals. To begin, she asks straightforward questions, listens carefully, and works with clients to set clear next steps.
