About Kristine

Kristine Fournier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, or changes in life. Kristine focuses on clear, practical conversation and helps people make small steps toward feeling better.

She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals at the center of each session. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs at the time.

Kristine has seven years of professional experience in counseling settings. That background includes supporting people through relationship challenges, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. She also offers help for issues like postpartum depression, trauma and abuse, and adjustment after loss.

She aims to meet people with sensitivity and respect while working to make therapy practical and doable. Conversations focus on real-life problems and on building skills that can be used between sessions. Kristine emphasizes partnership - she listens, offers options, and helps clients choose what fits them best.

If someone is unsure where to start, Kristine helps by breaking concerns into manageable pieces. She encourages gradual change and supports clients as they try new ways of coping. Jealousy is one of the relationship-related topics she can address when it comes up in sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kristine draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities and experiences, helping people set goals and choose the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to help identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain and to practice alternative ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will listen to a client's concerns, discuss which approaches might help, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. Together they decide what feels most useful and practical for the situation.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins during breaks or between other responsibilities. It can also let people use shorter or more frequent meetings while they try new skills, and it supports continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
