Background and approach
Parenting and family problems are a common focus, and she also supports people facing career stress and life transitions. She helps clients who struggle with codependency, blended family challenges, abandonment feelings, and communication problems. Her style centers on listening and adapting to each person’s needs.
Kris draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the client’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Sessions are collaborative and practical.
Kris aims to help people identify small, achievable goals and try new ways of responding between visits. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted when needed. Kris holds the Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker credential, LSCSW, in Kansas.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and practical change
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current connections. It can help people notice how attachment styles affect parenting, intimacy, and reactions to stress. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathic listening, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and building concrete coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kris collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and techniques feel most useful. Together they set clear, short-term goals and adjust the plan as needs and preferences change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video works well for in-depth conversations and real-time feedback. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief coaching, follow-up, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options give flexibility for parents and working adults to get support that fits their schedule.
