About Kristi
Kristi Skeem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She draws on a background that combines counseling, organizational psychology, and work across a wide range of settings. Kristi focuses on practical support for everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and depression.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
She also blends client-centered listening and solution-focused planning so sessions feel collaborative and concrete. Kristi has worked in varied environments, including correctional settings, mental health and substance use agencies, and with professionals in high-pressure roles. That experience informs how she helps people manage career strain, first responder issues, and the stress of major life transitions.
She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She pays attention to the whole person, including attachment concerns, codependency, and problems with control or commitment. Kristi often helps parents and caregivers address burnout and fatherhood issues, and she supports people dealing with adoption and foster care dynamics.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Kristi often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can set their own goals.She may also use solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps you can try between sessions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than imposing a single plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and a fuller conversational flow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more frequently and fit brief support around work, caregiving, or busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life transitions and busy periods.
