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.

Very kind, and listened to me. I would talk to her again.

Kristina Bell is a therapist who cares. She is discreet and professional. The tools she provided me last year still help me today. If you are hesitating or concerned about sharing with a trusted professional, she is the therapist for you. I would recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.

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.
