Kristy Hamilton, LCSW

Kristy Hamilton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with ten years of experience. She has worked in medical and hospice social work, managed a dual-diagnosis program, and provided behavioral health care in clinic settings. Kristy helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family and blended family issues, trauma and sleeping difficulties.

She approaches sessions as a collaborative conversation. Kristy listens to understand the current situation and then helps identify patterns that make life harder. She uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build practical coping skills.

Her work draws from attachment-based methods, client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to focus on present problems while also recognizing how past experiences affect current choices. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

Kristy’s background includes medical and hospice settings, program management in dual-diagnosis treatment, and private practice work. She has supported people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, workplace challenges, hoarding and organizational difficulties, and life transitions such as moves and bereavement.

People who reach out can expect practical feedback and a respectful, interactive style. Kristy aims to help clients clarify goals, reduce distress, and develop clearer ways of handling relationship and family stresses moving forward.
