About Kristine
Kristine Mills is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, and relationship strain.

Her straightforward style is meant to make starting therapy less intimidating for people who are unsure where to begin.

She also incorporates attachment-focused ideas to address painful patterns in relationships.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration. She views each person as the expert on their life and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on real steps clients can try between meetings and on skills to handle strong feelings and difficult situations.

She aims to create a practical plan with each person, whether the work centers on coping skills, managing cravings, improving communication, or processing trauma.
People looking to change patterns like codependency or struggling with eating, sleeping, or parenting stress can expect clear guidance and tools to practice outside of sessions. The goal is steady progress toward a more manageable, meaningful day-to-day life.
Approaches to Online Work and Finding What Fits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings arise. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters and practicing small, doable actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape expectations and responses, helping people change patterns that cause repeated hurt.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may combine techniques from different approaches so the plan fits the individual's situation rather than following a single method rigidly.
Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or allowing sessions at times that suit work and family demands. A practical plan will include how to practice skills between meetings and how to bring what is learned into everyday routines.
