KRISTEN PHILLIPS, M.S.Ed.

I’m Kristen Phillips, a Teen Anxiety Coach and the founder of Kristen Phillips Coaching, where I help Christian teen girls who feel stuck in their heads learn how to calm anxiety, stop overthinking, and build real confidence through practical tools and faith. Through my coaching, I support high-achieving girls who care deeply but often feel overwhelmed, insecure, or socially anxious.

I’m also the host of the Anxious Christian Teen podcast, where I share simple, faith-based strategies to help teen girls find peace in the middle of anxious thoughts and everyday pressures.

My mission is to help teen girls experience freedom from overthinking, grow in confidence, and build a steady faith so they can live with more peace, purpose, and self-trust.

  • Kristen Phillips is a Teen Anxiety Coach and high school counselor who has spent over 18 years walking alongside teenagers through anxiety, insecurity, friendship struggles, and emotional overwhelm.

    Her passion for helping teen girls comes from her own story. As a teen, Kristen struggled deeply with anxiety and self-doubt, constantly feeling like she was either “too much” or “not enough.” It wasn’t until adulthood that she discovered the life-changing freedom of rooting her identity in Christ.

    That experience now fuels her mission: to help Christian teen girls find peace, build confidence, quiet the mental noise of anxiety, and learn how to live out their faith in everyday life.

    Kristen holds a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Tennessee at Martin and has worked in education since 2007. She also earned her Christian Life Coaching certification in 2025.

    When she’s not coaching or recording podcast episodes, Kristen enjoys SEC football (go Vols!), reading thrillers, and spending time with her husband, kids, and dog Ellie.goes here

  • My work is rooted in historic Christian belief and a Biblical worldview. I believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God and the foundation for truth, wisdom, and guidance in every area of life. I believe there is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    I believe that salvation is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His life, death, and resurrection, we are forgiven, redeemed, and invited into a restored relationship with God.

    As a wife, mother, and educator, I am passionate about helping the next generation grow in faith, wisdom, and emotional strength. My mission is to equip teen girls with practical tools and Biblical truth so they can overcome anxiety, walk in confidence, and experience the peace that comes from trusting Christ.
