Kristin Fox-Klingensmith, LPC

Kristin Fox-Klingensmith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with more than 22 years of experience in the mental health field. Her career spans work in a community mental health agency, a psychiatric hospital, an outpatient clinic, and providing therapy within county jails, giving her experience with a wide range of clinical presentations and levels of intensity.

She has most frequently worked with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, and addictions. Kristin’s counseling style is warm, interactive, and encouraging. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction and avoids stigmatizing labels when supporting individuals through change. As an LPC - a credential that denotes professional training and licensure to provide clinical counseling - she blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a human-centered outlook.

Her approach draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, person-centered, and psychodynamic traditions. Kristin partners with clients to set clear treatment goals and develops tailored plans that reflect each person’s unique needs. Having engaged in treatment herself, she understands how difficult reaching out can feel and values the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful progress. She uses techniques such as mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside solution-focused strategies to help clients move toward a better quality of life, and she encourages individuals for taking the first step toward support.
