About Kristie
Kristie Cooley is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work centers on listening closely and helping clients find tools that fit their daily lives.
Kristie keeps sessions goal-focused and down-to-earth. She helps people notice patterns that lead to outbursts or avoidance, and then practices new responses together.
Background and approach
Communication skills, emotional regulation, and boundary-setting are common topics in her work. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and uses approaches grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she favors methods with clear, practical exercises rather than vague talk alone.
Sessions often include short skills practice and homework to reinforce progress between meetings. Kristie is attentive to issues that often sit alongside primary concerns. She supports clients dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment feelings, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness or pain, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
She also works with people struggling with substance use, impulsivity, guilt, and shame. Clients can expect collaborative planning about goals and next steps. Kristie aims to make treatment understandable and usable, helping people try small changes that can shift patterns over time.
She provides services in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Kristie uses plain, skills-focused methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach she uses teaches emotion regulation skills and practical strategies to manage strong feelings like anger and anxiety; clients learn step-by-step tools to notice triggers and choose different reactions. Another approach emphasizes communication skill building to improve conversations and reduce conflict; sessions include role practice and concrete planning for real-life interactions.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review problems, goals, and preferences and try techniques that match the client's needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and realistic for the client’s daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping therapy consistent.
