About Krista
Krista Holeman is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel down-to-earth and practical for worried parents and busy adults. She draws from methods that emphasize clear skills and everyday strategies.
Sessions often include problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking. The goal is to build tools that fit into a person's routine rather than add more stress.
Background and approach
Krista trained at Doane University in Nebraska, earning a master’s degree in counseling in 2015. She has nine years as a licensed therapist and prior experience as a drug and alcohol counselor. That background informs work with substance-related concerns and mood issues.
Her style is collaborative and warm. She focuses on building rapport and asking what matters most to each person. Krista helps clients set clear, manageable goals and checks progress along the way.
In sessions she may blend cognitive-behavioral techniques with acceptance-focused skills and attachment-aware perspectives. Practical homework and short skills practice are common. Her aim is for clients to leave sessions with at least one usable idea to try before the next meeting.
Krista balances clinical work with family life as a wife and mother. That perspective shapes a practical approach to juggling roles, parenting stresses, and finding meaning during busy seasons of life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing attention and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and building concrete skills like problem solving and behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing everyday stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily demands, then try methods that fit. That means sessions may mix acceptance skills, cognitive strategies, and client-centered listening based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide a way to stay connected between sessions or to use brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other commitments.
