Kristin Scott-Groves, LCSW

Kristin Scott-Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on relationship concerns and common life stressors like anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting strain. Kristin aims to make therapy direct and practical so people can get relief and clearer next steps.

She uses approaches that emphasize the client’s voice and present goals. Conversations often center on building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing trauma symptoms when they come up. Sessions move at a steady pace, with specific strategies offered for things like panic attacks, sleep problems, and low self-esteem.

Kristin has six years of clinical experience working with people facing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and life changes such as divorce, adoption, or caring for others. She also supports those dealing with fertility concerns, blended family stress, and issues that follow military service. Her background includes focused work with people managing caregiver burden and navigating family conflict.

Her style blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. She will often ask about immediate goals and try a few strategies to see what helps most. This can include steps for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, or rebuilding trust after a relationship shift.

Kristin works in English and holds LCSW licensure in Colorado and Florida as well as practice in Virginia. She aims to help people find manageable change that fits their life and values.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Kristin draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood while they decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin will work collaboratively to identify what matters most to the client, test brief strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This makes the work flexible and tailored to each person’s goals and preferences.

The practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit into a busy day and lowering travel time so check-ins become more doable. If you rely on shorter meetings to fit a break at work or prefer not to be on camera, discuss those needs when you schedule. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to be sure they match your schedule and communication preferences.
