About Me
Hello! My name is Kristina and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over five years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked for several public agencies providing social work services, school-based mental health services, community mental health services, & now private practice. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship challenges.
I was born & raised in Charleston, South Carolina. I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology at Newberry College in Newberry, South Carolina & a Masters degree in Counseling at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri.
My theoretical orientation is eclectic, as I integrate various techniques to benefit each individual client. The majority of my work has focused on working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional disorder, and family/relationship issues. My areas of practice/specialization are Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT, & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my husband & family, exercising, reading, & traveling.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristina Bell. 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.
Kristina has been incredible for me and met me where I needed her to in my life. She was gentle, caring, and listened as well as provided me with simple insights and tools which I have implemented and are very helpful. I would highly recommend her to others.
She is awesome! I didn’t expect to find it helpful right away but I was pleasantly surprised to find I was wrong. My first session she gave me some really great guidance.
She listens to me and seems so understanding and compassionate

Kritstina helped me handle my issues pragmatically and I have learned so much in four weeks of therapy with her. I can definitely say that I feel better; I feel relieved knowing that I can handle my anxiety and other problems in a healthier manner. Thank you Kristina :)
