About Kristine
She began her career as a Certified School Psychologist and spent many years working with students and families on academic, behavioral, and social-emotional challenges. That school-based work shaped her practical approach to problem solving and clear communication.
In community therapy settings she supported adults dealing with anger, work-related issues, and family concerns. She brings practical skills from those roles into sessions, helping people manage everyday problems and crises in concrete ways.
Her clinical work emphasizes cognitive-behavioral methods alongside client-centered practice. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to help people build coping skills and take small, meaningful steps toward their goals.
Outside of clinical work she teaches at Kent State University and values meditation and regular exercise. Those personal interests inform a collaborative style that focuses on purpose, meaning, and realistic, achievable change.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for dealing with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens and reflects to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can still make evidence-based methods like ACT and CBT practical for daily life. It can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for practicing skills between meetings and for maintaining continuity when life gets busy.
