About Kristie
Her work is practical and straightforward. She listens first, then tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs. That might mean using trauma-focused approaches to address past harm, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build action steps.
Kristie also draws on client-centered and mindfulness-based ideas to keep sessions grounded and focused on what matters now. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to skill-building and coping tools that fit daily life. She helps people sort through complex feelings like guilt, shame, anger, and grief.
Common areas she supports include self-esteem, addictions, eating concerns, career stress, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression. She also assists people facing family challenges, blended family issues, commitment or communication problems, and struggles tied to abandonment or codependency.
Kristie works in English and does not take international clients. If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Kristie uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process past harm and reduce its daily impact. That approach focuses on understanding traumatic experiences and building steps to feel safer and more in control. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values.Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, so sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. The therapist and client work together to decide which approaches fit best, and that decision is revisited as goals or needs change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristie will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they craft a plan that blends practical skills, mindfulness practices, and values-based steps to fit daily life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, shortening travel time, or having a quieter check-in during a work break. Discuss format and timing during the initial matching and scheduling so sessions match routines and goals.
