About Kristine
Dr. Kristine Quallich is a licensed psychologist who draws on nearly three decades of experience to help people manage parenting stress, relationship challenges, and everyday life changes. She holds psychologist licenses in California and Ohio and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions.
Her work often blends cognitive behavioral tools with client-centered listening. That means she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and make space for what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life problems parents face. Dr. Quallich has a long history in education as a Certified School Psychologist.
She spent many years supporting students and families with academic, behavioral, and social-emotional concerns. That background informs her practical advice around routines, communication, and managing stress at home. She has also worked in community therapy settings with adults on anger management, employment issues, and family concerns.
Teaching at the university level keeps her connected to current research and fresh ideas she can bring into sessions. Many people find her style useful for parenting questions, ADHD-related challenges, anxiety, grief, and coping after trauma or life transitions. Dr.
Quallich emphasizes short-term, solution-focused steps alongside mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Outside of work she practices meditation and exercise and encourages clients to explore values and meaning as part of recovery and growth.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online parenting support
Dr. Quallich uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to work with online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help parents name what matters in family life and make choices that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how they feel. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, sleep or eating concerns, and common parenting stressors. Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and check in about what feels helpful. Clients and therapist collaborate to adjust methods so the work fits daily life and parenting demands. Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people use visual cues for interaction work and role plays. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, homework exchanges, or steady support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to keep momentum while balancing family schedules and other commitments.Questions people ask about Kristine
