Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience in Wisconsin, she works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, and relationship and family difficulties. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

Kristine also brings experience supporting clients facing life transitions, parenting and blended-family challenges, postpartum depression, addiction-related concerns, and trauma and abuse. She draws on client-centered methods to create a collaborative environment and uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotional regulation and coping skills when situations feel overwhelming.

Integrating CBT and Client-Centered Care Online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, using empathic listening and collaboration to shape goals and guidance so the work feels personally meaningful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements help teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for clients who need concrete tools to manage intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Kristine works with clients to explore which methods best match their concerns, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. She aims to blend structured skill-building with compassionate dialogue so clients feel both supported and equipped to practice new ways of coping.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or for those who prefer remote care. These formats increase flexibility for scheduling and provide multiple ways to stay connected between sessions, helping clients maintain continuity of care while working toward their goals.
