Hello and welcome. My name is Kristin Allen, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. I have worked in a variety of practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, and inpatient treatment centers. I began my career in Kentucky and moved to Florida in 2015. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from Georgetown College and my master's degree in clinical psychology from Eastern Kentucky University.
My approach to treatment is first to help my clients to feel safe, accepted, and understood. Research suggests that one of the most significant predictors of therapy success is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, so I consider this a critical component of my work. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients to identify areas in which they'd like to better understand themselves and to support their process in areas where they seek personal growth. The benefit of these approaches is that they simultaneously promote self-acceptance and compassion while also encouraging the development of increased self-awareness and skill-building.
Many times, an important aspect of therapy is exploring and accepting our unique identities, such as sexual orientation, gender identity, racial identity, etc, These identities influence our previous and current experiences, which often shapes our perspectives about ourselves and others. It is my goal as a therapist to help my clients to explore, process, and ultimately embrace their whole and authentic selves and to build and strengthen supportive connections with others.
Additional areas of focus:Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Attachment issues, Emptiness, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Money and financial issues, Mood disorders , Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristin Allen. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I will definitely miss our talks together. Kristin came during a very bad time in my life. It wasn't urgent help but a distraction my mind needed. I always looked forward to our weekly sessions. She has helped me so much over the last several months and sad to see her go. I hope wherever she goes next is a good journey for her. She always will be remembered.

Kristin is the type of therapist I’ve been wanting for some time. She is so kind, gentle, and a good listener. It feels like she’s walking with me in this healing journey, rather than holding my hand. She genuinely cares and roots for me. From our first phone call, I felt safe. I even was able to reconnect with her after taking some time away from BetterHelp.

I have only had a couple sessions with Kristin, but so far she had made me feel heard and has offered me resources for what I’m going through. She responds in a timely manner to messages and checks in on how I’m doing. She is on time for our appointments and is patient during sessions.

Talking to Kristin is like talking to someone I’ve been friends with for a while - effortless. I feel truly heard and respected without even the slightest hint of judgement. In the few sessions we’ve had together a lot of things have been put into perspective to me.
