About Kristie
Kristie adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful patterns and on mindfulness to build present-moment skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and take workable steps toward them. Trauma-focused methods guide work when past hurt affects daily life.
Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. Conversations cover communication, boundaries, and coping tools for anxiety or mood shifts. She can also address concerns like jealousy, infidelity, codependency, and body image with grounded strategies that aim for steady progress.
Kristie works with people facing career stress, addiction struggles, depressive episodes, and questions about identity and self-worth. She tailors pacing and homework to what each person can manage between sessions. Her style is warm, attentive, and action-oriented when needed.
People who want a counselor who listens first and then helps plan next steps may find her approach helpful. She asks about practical concerns and life goals, and provides direct feedback along the way.
How Kristie’s Approaches Work Online
Kristie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. ACT is useful for coping with difficult feelings, making changes that matter, and reducing struggles with avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adjusting techniques if something isn’t working.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Kristie’s practice information here does not list specific formats, so ask about options when you match.
