About Kristi

Kristi Skeem is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She combines practical problem-solving with thoughtful conversation to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs.

Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Kristi also uses client-centered listening to make room for a person’s values and priorities.

Background and approach

Existential themes such as meaning, purpose, and uncertainty are discussed when they matter to the client. Kristi has worked in a range of settings including correctional environments, mental health and substance use agencies, and with people in high-responsibility roles. That background shapes a direct and practical style.

She emphasizes strengths people already have and small steps that build momentum. Typical work includes addressing relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and fatherhood issues, communication problems, codependency, and career transitions. She also assists people struggling with behaviors such as pornography use and other compulsive patterns.

In sessions Kristi blends short-term skills training with deeper conversations about values and purpose. She helps people map out realistic goals and then tests changes between sessions. The focus is on clearer choices and steadier daily routines.

People who choose Kristi often want someone who will listen without rush, offer concrete strategies, and also tackle bigger questions about meaning and direction.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kristi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy as part of online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood; it is practical and goal oriented. Existential work looks at meaning, purpose, and choices when life feels uncertain, and it helps people clarify what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as needs change. That means sessions may shift between skills practice and deeper reflection depending on what helps most in the moment.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for richer discussion, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins by chat or text are useful for short updates or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping a steady connection with a licensed professional.
