Dr. Kristin Good is a California psychologist who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and related challenges. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and their priorities.

She brings 24 years of experience as a CA Psychologist (PSY20854). Sessions focus on setting clear goals and learning skills that fit daily life. Clients practice tools for regulating emotion, improving sleep and appetite, and handling relationship strain.

Dr. Good describes her style as client-centered. That means she listens first, then tailors techniques to what a person needs. She draws on evidence-based methods that teach coping skills and encourage steady progress.

Therapy often involves learning how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. Together they work on small changes that add up over time. She helps people build self-compassion and a clearer sense of what matters to them.

People come for many reasons including trauma, grief, problems with intimacy, addictive behaviors, and parenting stress. Dr. Good frames difficulties as chances to grow and reduce suffering. Her goal is to help people move from merely surviving to living in ways that feel more satisfying and meaningful.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping set goals and select skills that fit the client's everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may combine listening-focused work with skill-building techniques.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find therapy easier to fit into busy weeks when sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, and online sessions can reduce travel time and make short check-ins more feasible. Discuss how you prefer to meet and what will help you stay consistent when you start.
