Kristi Born, LPC
Specializes In:
Kristine (‘Kristi’) Born, LPC, helps individuals and couples across South Carolina navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and compassionate support. She provides individual therapy for teens, adults, and seniors, offering a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to concerns such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Kristi creates a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel heard and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. Kristi is especially passionate about supporting women through postpartum experiences, midlife transitions, and health-related concerns. She understands how these seasons can affect emotional well-being, identity, and relationships, and she works closely with clients to build coping strategies, restore balance, and foster self-compassion. Her approach is grounded in practical tools and insight, helping clients regain a sense of control and confidence during pivotal life stages. In addition to individual therapy, Kristi offers couples counseling to strengthen communication and connection. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), couples/marital counseling techniques, and parenting skills training to support clients in achieving their goals. She also has experience working with women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and offers additional areas of support tailored to each client’s needs. Outside of her work, Kristi enjoys spending quality time with her family, exploring new places, and traveling whenever she can.
