Kristin Fahey, LCSW, CSW

Kristin Fahey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, LGBT concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She invites people to bring their thoughts and feelings and to take the first steps toward a more satisfying life. Kristin emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental presence in sessions.

With 30 years of experience in Georgia, Kristin draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She listens first, then works with people to set realistic goals and practical steps. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and what small changes could make life feel easier.

In sessions she aims to create space for honest talk. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and practice skills that reduce worry and improve communication. Kristin also addresses body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues around fertility or family of origin when these come up.

People who struggle with addiction, eating or food concerns, or with the emotional fallout of divorce or domestic violence can bring those topics into her work as well. She uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside acceptance-based and client-centered methods. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

Kristin explains options clearly and partners with clients on a plan that fits their daily life. She encourages questions and checks in about what is or isn’t helping as therapy moves forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Kristin uses approaches that help people learn new ways to handle hard feelings and improve relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behavior and reduce anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a trusting, empathic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin partners with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and she checks in regularly to make adjustments together.

If you prefer online care, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that consistent, regular online sessions help maintain progress between meetings and support gradual changes in daily life.
