Kristin Effan, LPC

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor providing mental health services via Telehealth to the state of Missouri for anxiety and stress.

Externally, you appear hard working, ambitious, high-achieving and organized - you seemingly have it all together. But internally, you’re overwhelmed and paralyzed by perfectionism, fear of failure and self-doubt. Attempting to maintain impossible standards is beginning to take a toll and you’re exhausted from casting aside your needs to please others. The never ending “what if” scenarios consuming your mind leave you feeling drained and dreading the days ahead. Your symptoms cause sleepless nights, irritability and emotional instability which impact your energy levels, school or work performance and relationships.

You can expect our sessions to be laid back and informal. My calm and supportive demeanor served with a side of humor allows for a safe space to lay your worries down for a while as we explore your unique concerns and work on solutions together to get you back on track and living in the moment again.

You've been carrying the weight of the world a little too long now. I know how overwhelming it can be to reach out for help and let your guard down. My own therapeutic journey combined with my education as a counselor inspired my practice. Relief is possible to achieve and I'd love to help you reach your personal goals!
