About Kristine
Kristine Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and ADHD-related challenges. She works with clients who are navigating grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues connected to LGBT identity. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical help and steady guidance.
Kristine believes each person knows their story best and brings the client's strengths into sessions. She invites people to take small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
She emphasizes courage, self-compassion, and building skills that fit everyday life. In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and tolerate hard feelings while moving forward.
Emotion-focused ideas and attachment-based perspectives guide work on relationships and connection. Kristine has eight years of professional experience and holds licensure in New Mexico as an LPCC. Her background includes helping people with trauma and abuse, eating and sleep concerns, parenting stress, career strain, and codependency.
She aims to make therapy feel practical and meaningful rather than overwhelming. People usually find sessions involve clear goals, skill-building exercises, and time to talk through difficult moments. Kristine supports clients who want to develop new habits, manage intense emotions, and rebuild trust in themselves and their relationships.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Kristine often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for sleep issues, mood struggles, and managing ADHD-related routines.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter despite uncomfortable feelings. ACT can be helpful for people facing depression, life transitions, or ongoing worry who want to live in line with what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristine will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then tailor methods that fit their life and pace. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skill practice, emotional processing, or values-based change should lead sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be a shorter check-in or a way to track progress between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or school routines while keeping momentum between appointments.
