For a long time during her mommy blogging days, her license for being a therapist in any clinical capacity was lapsed. So her bio was untrue.

I can’t imagine who would ever hire Kristen, Anna, or Mark to help with mental health or relationship challenges in general.

Interesting. Online personality people who pretend to be in shock when their con game is finally discovered. Like I’m imagining hand doing throat flutters and the need for smelling salts. Utterances with hand to forehead, “OH No, I can’t believe people are coming for me like this! All I have done is try to help! I am so awesome. I am so awesome. I am so awesome. I am great. Everything I have ever done is great.”

Like a lot of “rental income?” Did they flip a mansion or something? I’m having a hard time picturing either of these two putting in sweat equity without documenting it on SM.

That's an interesting point--that would be content. Maybe they didn't flip it, just rented it out. Maybe they sold it, i dont know. Didn't look like a mansion.

It’s not. It’s also only in Mark’s name. Most people use rental income as passive income for a trust, etc. It’s typically not enough to support a family of 4-8 (if we include marks kids). But yes, he is the best bonus dad EVER! Did you guys know that?!?

I've been following the Dr. Chyenne Bryant influencer con closely so this caught my attention. I did a deep dive and Kristen is licensed in Cali as she says as a marriage and family therapist. You can see it listed on the state board. (I found Mark's license too) I am pretty sure anyone with a mental health license can call themselves a psychotherapist and I can't find anywhere on the internet where she calls herself a clinical psychologist. Kristen also doesn't beg for clients in every other post and seems to work at a reputatble therapy organization. I'm not willing to lump her into the same grift as Anna and Mark and give her credit for stepping away from the exploiting her kids for sponsored posts and getting a real job. I wish more of these Christian influencers would. She's also picking up the slack for four kids that a mediocre man bailed on. I find this "lets turn it back to Kristen" weird when Anna is so above and beyond in her bad behavior and fake credentials and Kristen's were really easy to find. As weird as you leading with "I'm not Anna." You sure?

Yeah I agree with the poster above. I wouldn’t put Kristen in the same category, even if you find her annoying. She is at least trained and is working rather than just posting videos of herself making up client stories. I really wonder about Tim’s fiancee and hope she is normal for their kids sake.

Wow, Kristen must be in here. All mentions of herself as a clinical psychologist on the internet that I found last night have been edited or removed.

That's not how the internet works. If she was really misrepresenting herself for years as you say, there would be a digital footprint of it that couldn't be scrubbed in 24 hours. I continue to fnd this focus odd and an attempt to redirect from valid critiques of Mark and Anna.

Kristen misrepresented a lot of her life in the past, and would love to tell folks she had "twins" just to see their reaction when they saw her AA and white daughter. Then, they lied to get a dog ( I forget the whole post on her blog, but it was kind of obnoxious) and then within six months radio silence about the dog and it just disappeared.
She is strange but is no longer front and center of the blogosphere.
And Anna is a whole other category of ridiculous. Like "double-certified" nuts.

Mark's hair plugs are kind of desperate. I say this as a middle-aged lady with thinning, grey hair. It's not a good look on him at all, and hair dye for guys over 50 makes their hair the color of iced tea.
How long before Anna starts nitpicking his appearance even more? Poor guy can't even enjoy an ice cream in the privacy of his room anymore.

Hi, Kristen!

[Anonymous]

Do we think these “client texts” are ai generated or just her and mark texting eachother back and forth?

[Anonymous]

If they are real, that’s so weird to post.

I think we all agree to dislike all 3 of them.

More posts of client texts. I just cannot believe these are real. First of all I don't think other adults use emojis that much - it's very Anna- coded. I also don't think it's normal for clients to praise their therapist/coach after each session, or to text them when they've had sex. It all feels made up to market herself. But if it actually is real, also WTF. I would be so pissed if I was a client and my personal texts were posted.

Hi, Kristen!

Lolz I posted that and I'm not Kristen. I found my way to this thread for the Anna snark. But I just think accusing someone of faking a license is a big deal and it's weird that it was easily googleable and instead you doubled down and said she must have magically scrubbed the internet in a few hours instead of just saying whoops I was wrong. (Also Anna-coded, tbh.)

[Anonymous]

I’m calling bs on the client texts. I do not text my therapist after each session saying how impactful or helpful they were. I also certainly don’t update someone I pay on my sex life. If these are real, I feel so bad for these poor people getting scammed and then exploited for marketing and content. But I’m with the poster above, these are very Anna coded and deliberately worded I can’t imagine they are real.

God she is psycho.
