About Kristin
LPC Dr. Kristin Tugman is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, and related life changes. Kristin also addresses grief, eating issues, anger, LGBT concerns, family-related stress, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue. She works in English and is not accepting international clients.
Dr. Tugman approaches sessions with the view that each person knows their story best. She looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them while talking through immediate problems. Sessions move at a practical pace and aim to make small, manageable changes that feel realistic in day-to-day life.
Her practice often centers on helping people manage stress and anxiety and cope with addictive patterns. She assists with motivation and confidence when career challenges interfere with wellbeing. Grief and eating concerns are addressed through steady, goal-oriented conversation rather than quick fixes.
In work with LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue, the focus is on specific coping skills and concrete steps to reduce overwhelm. Family issues are handled by helping individuals navigate conflict and responsibilities that affect them personally.
Clients can expect direct discussion, goal setting, and follow-up on small tasks between visits. Kristin encourages people to notice what already works for them and to try adjustments that fit their daily routines. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote sessions
Dr. Tugman describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and measurable steps. For example, stress and anxiety work often uses short, skills-focused practices that help people notice triggers and try new coping responses. These are practical exercises that can be reviewed and adjusted each session.Addressing addictions typically involves building motivation, setting clear goals, and planning small changes to routines. The approach emphasizes accountability and problem solving so progress can be tracked over time and setbacks can be discussed without judgment.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review problems, goals, and preferences together and then try out approaches that fit the person’s situation. Sessions include regular check-ins so they can change tactics if something is not working.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit is not practical. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside work and family obligations.
