About me

I am licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Iowa with 6 years of professional work experience. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, and mild depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I view us as a team, working at finding solutions to the issues you bring to therapy as well as healing from past or present trauma. I will typically respond to messages in 24 hours after receiving them or in 48 hours if it's over the weekend. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

Kristin is great- not a stuffy type but knows how to "read the room" so to speak, while also good at the fun stuff. Great at listening & helping me to process things. A++++++++, 100/10, if I had a different therapist I'd ditch them & find Kristin Udell- I'm very happy with her

Kristin was caring and attentive. She is extremely understanding and knowledgeable. She takes the time to not only provide excersizes to help, but also to find and send supporting information sources. She was fantastic and I would happily work with her again!

I like Kristen a lot! She is very easy to talk to and down to earth. She makes it feel more like a helpful conversation rather than a therapy session!

She is a very good listener and wants to understand where I am coming from. She made me feel comfortable.

It has been a long time since I’ve had a therapist that I feel “gets me.” Kristen is down to earth, helps me work through my issues with her versus forcing solutions down my throat. I’m so grateful to have found such an amazing therapist to help me through the tough stuff and to celebrate the good!
