Background and approach

Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the person’s goals. Kristine has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, long-term illness, compassion fatigue, and significant life transitions. She also supports those struggling with addiction, sleep or eating concerns, and career or relationship stress.

Her background includes work with attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and other complex challenges. Sessions are structured around what the person needs that week. She helps set specific goals and suggests small experiments to test new ways of coping.

Many clients find the combination of practical tools and reflective conversation helpful for building steady progress. Kristine offers services to people across Missouri and accepts international clients as well. She conducts video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and works with each person to choose the format that fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Kristine combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. It is useful when someone wants a clearer sense of what matters and how to take steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks for patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches specific strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine works with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals, life demands, and preferences. Together they try strategies, track results, and adjust the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to an in-person session and work well for longer conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits better into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, homework check-ins, or shorter coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health commitments.
