Kristina Holt-Reber, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristina!

I value and put collaboration with YOU first and use a person-centered, humanistic, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I have spent a lot of my education focusing on Trauma and anxiety-related disorders and have a passion for serving the LGBTQIA+ community.

My focus

I typically work with clients struggling with anxiety, mood, or trauma-related concerns and feel very comfortable treating those conditions.

My approach

I believe in tailoring the therapeutic approaches to each client,/clients which starts by forming a strong therapeutic relationship. I use compassion-focused, trauma-informed, client-centered, humanistic techniques, but do not shy away from utilizing cognitive behavioral and dialectic behavior therapy skills when applicable.

My communication style

I use a collaborative tone, take a passive or active role as needed, and allow room for feedback, discussion, and collaboration in the therapeutic space.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe in the ability to change behavior and that this change can lead to a release of distressing symptoms. I always wanted to help people and have felt drawn toward it since I was young.

My goals for you

Collaboratively! It is very important to me that you, my client, are actively involved in setting our goals for therapy.

Our first session

You can expect space for me to answer questions, for you to be informed about the therapeutic space, limits of confidentiality, and for us to start to get to know each other. I am going to want to know what brings you in and what you are hoping to work on.
