Dr. Kristin Good

Dr. Kristin Good is a California psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, sleep and eating problems, caregiver strain, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 24 years of experience to her work.

Her style is client-centered and matter-of-fact. She begins by hearing what matters most to each person and setting clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on learning and practicing skills people can use in daily life, not just during therapy. She aims to help clients feel listened to and better understand their own emotions and reactions.

Dr. Good uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and on dialectical behavior strategies to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may be part of work for trauma-related concerns when appropriate.

Appointments are shaped around each person’s needs and paced to match their goals. The emphasis is on practical tools that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. She frames challenges as chances to learn and grow, helping people move from surviving toward a more satisfying life.

Dr. Good holds the credential CA Psychologist PSY20854. She practices in California and works with adults across a wide range of concerns, offering therapy in both English and Spanish.

How mindfulness and practical methods translate online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions without reacting immediately. This can ease intense anxiety, reduce rumination, and make daily moments feel more manageable. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to each person’s priorities and building sessions around their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Please confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or meeting without needing to travel. It can also allow consistent weekly work when schedules or transportation are barriers. Licensed professionals use a range of approaches to help people practice skills, process difficult experiences, and build routines that stick.
