Kriss Light , LMFT

Kriss Light is an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - who integrates depth psychology into clinical work through certification in Jungian psychotherapy. She centers the inner life in therapy, using Jungian concepts such as the Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus, and the process of individuation to help clients bring unconscious material into awareness.

Her practice emphasizes curiosity and reflection, supporting people as they examine recurring patterns, projections, and complicated feelings so that they can respond to life with greater self-acceptance and clarity. She works with the emotional fallout of loss, transitions, trauma, stressors, and health changes, guiding clients toward clearer values and more trustworthy internal signals when decisions feel uncertain.

Kriss draws on her interests in comparative religion and Jungian studies to situate personal struggles in broader meaning-making frameworks, and she also brings a creative sensibility from her background as a musician to encourage expressive and imaginative work. Her approach aims to help clients sort through feelings, uncover what matters most, and build more integrated ways of living and relating.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that form early in life and continue to shape adult relationships. It helps people understand how attachment styles influence closeness, trust, and emotional responses, and supports work on relationship repair and intimacy challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people explore their values and feelings at their own pace to foster self-acceptance and personal growth.

EMDR is an approach often used for processing traumatic memories and distressing experiences. It aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories and support integration so that past events have less disruptive impact on present functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kriss collaborates with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as change unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it possible to engage in meaningful work from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care, adapt to client needs, and offer consistent therapeutic support without requiring travel.
