About Kristie
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to fit what an individual needs rather than using one fixed plan. Kristie listens first and then helps set practical steps that feel manageable in day-to-day life.
Her background includes work across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns, such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, eating issues, and anger. She also supports people facing complexities like abandonment, blended family stress, codependency, and problems with trust or commitment.
Kristie integrates several therapeutic approaches when they suit a client's goals. She uses methods that encourage values-based action, present-moment noticing, and practical skill building to reduce distress and improve relationships. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process where goals and strategies evolve together.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Kristie aims to make that step clearer and less intimidating. She works with people who want to find steadier ways of coping, repair important relationships, or move forward after difficult experiences.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Kristie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps. ACT encourages noticing thoughts without being ruled by them and practicing actions that match personal values. Client-Centered Therapy is another strand of her work, which centers on being listened to and respected while deciding goals at your own pace. That approach helps people feel understood and able to move at a comfortable speed.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the focus over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are supported. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can cut commuting time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to join from another location when needed. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online that they use in person, and many people find progress when sessions are regular and focused on concrete goals.
